"The Kashmiri Kalam. A page from the illustrated and heavily illuminated Janam Sakhi of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji by a number of calligraphers, artists and illuminaters of Sri Nagar (Kashmir) who worked under the chief craftsman Missar Jiwan Ram. The project was sponsored by Bhai Mukhi Qandhari of Afghanistan about two centuries ago who spent Rupees two lakh and 25 tolas of gold on the production of this unique manuscript, which is now in the collection of Sikh Heritage Museum U.K." (quote taken from source) |

[edit]This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag. |
