Notes

According to Muller, probably engraved and published by Carel Allard, Amsterdam. 'Roma Pertubata' was first published in 1706 with ten plates, in 1707 with 13, which are listed in Muller 3410 a and b, 1-13. For a list of these prints see the entry of BM 1871-12-9-4872. The image is based on one or more earlier satirical representations of a Pope's head entitled "Gorgoneum caput" (eg. one by Stimmer c.1571, Andresen 101; see F.Elsig & S.Sala, 'Enfer ou paradis, aux sources de la caricature', Geneva 2013, p.111, for further references).

The Bull referred to is the anti-Jansenist "Vineam Domini"of 1705.

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.

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 70 years or fewer.


You must also include a United States public domain tag to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States.

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.
