Notes | Only the inset maps and views and the title cartouche are by Hollar. The alternation from the first state was not made by Hollar himself. The inserted maps and views of London and other cities were sometimes cut out as a single print. Though a copy by a follower, 1880,1113.1160 is such an example (NH 999.A.) For the London map and view see James Howgego, 'Printed Maps of London c.1553-1850' 2nd ed. No. 14. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

[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. |
