Notes |
The only work by Hollar is the two views, of Rye and Dover, the rest being by Whitwell; Hollar's drawing of Rye (Sprinzels 367, Huntington Library) was made after an original by Van Dyck (Vey 288, Pierpoint Morgan Library III 178); according to Pennington, this state appeared in the 1664 edition of Thomas Phillipott's 'Vallare Cantianum, or Kent surveyed and illustrated' (not the 1659 edition). The map itself was first issued in 1596. |

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. |
