Notes |
This lithograph was probably printed by Gihaut frères in relation to a publication where Charlet's lithographs are themed around letters of the alphabet. Letters are often illustrated with Charlet's autograph subjects. According to a sale catalogue "Some early French lithographs" published by the William Weston Gallery in 1977 (in which several lithographs from this series were advertised) the series would be difficult to find in its entirety. The Museum of Fine Arts San-Francisco holds an album with the entire series, excluding unifinshed early designs. |

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. ![]() |
