Notes

This is from a group of sixty images gathered and grouped by John Porter Brown (1814-1872), and kept together. They have a crude hand-written cover and title given by Brown: 'The Derviches or Oriental Spiritualism', with author information: 'by John P. Brown / Member of the American Oriental Society. Member of the Asiatic Society of Paris. Secretary and Dragoman of the Legation of the U.S. of America at Constantinople'. The final book, with the same name (and the word Dervishe corrected as Brown uses the spelling 'Dervich'), 'The Dervishes: or Oriental Spiritualism', was first published in 1868 in London by Trubner and Co. The list of illustrations from the book suggests the images kept at the BM are Brown's research for the book, including for example a photograph titled by Brown 'A Kadiree Dervich' (1904,0929.65) which was used for a wood-engraving at the beginning of the book under the list of illustrations.

Many of the prints, drawings and photographes in this group have hand-written titles given by Brown himself with the original title scratched. The original print title, when available, has been kept as the object title, and Brown's title has been added in the inscription field. When possible, it has been added on the curatorial comment the page of the book with which the current image is associated (all the twenty-four book illustrations are wood-engravings, many after the images grouped here).

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:
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.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

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.
