Summary

[edit]
Author
S. Loudan; Sir Edwin Henry Landseer
Description
English: 'Salmon and Otter'

This print by S. Loudan after a painting by Sir E. Landseer was reproduced in The Illustrated Times on 1 October 1859. It shows an otter lying across the salmon it has just caught. They are by a waterfall with rocks on either side. The otter and salmon are on a grassy bank with the otter's tail still in the water.

The Herschels prints and drawing collection becomes increasingly drawn from illustrations extracted from one of the many illustrated newspapers on the market from the second half of the 19th century onward.

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
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.
