Notes

Grandville combined here the interpretation of Vernet's painting 'Massacre des Mamelucks dans le château du Caire' (1819), representing the slaughter of Mameluke leaders commissioned by the pasha of Egyp, with the slaughter of Turkish soldiers known as Janissaires. In the lithograph, the figure of the pasha is Louis-Philippe. Louis-Philippe was Vernet's patron. See Elise K.Kenney & John M.Merriman, 'The Pear: French Graphic Arts in the Golden Age of Caricature', South Hadley, Massachusetts 1991, p.49, cat.14.

Recorded in the IFF as a collaborarion with Desperet.

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.
