Summary[edit]

Author
Lt James Henry Butt
Description
English: 'Chinese Junks'

No. 5 of 51(PAJ2051 - PAJ2101): inscribed by the artist on the album page, as title, and signed in monogram initials and dated 'JHB / 6/67', in the lower left on the drawing. Presumably a view Butt saw near Hong Kong. The two craft seen in stern view on the left may be pole junks, with large stern hatches for loading timber, and the three-master under sail in the right middle distance appears to be a Pechili trader.

Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.


This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
