Notes |
This is one of forty-eight (resp. 50 and 74) emblems from the brothers Johann Theodor and Johann Israel de Bry's emblem book 'Emblemata nobilitati et vulgo scitu digna: singulis historijs symbola adscripta & elegantes versus historiam explicates...' published in Frankfurt in 1592 (republished in Frankfurt in 1593). The engravings were mainly after Hans Bol, Hieronymus Bosch, Pieter Breughel, Karel van Mander, Maarten de Vos etc. For other plates see 1875,0410.152-171 and 1905,0520.6-8. It is unclear from which edition the plates come and no attempts have been made to interpret the precise meanings of the emblems. |

Licensing[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. |
