Notes

From 'Portraits des plus célèbres généraux français contemporains de Napoléon', a series of portraits representing French generals of the Napoleonic era. The first livraison, registered at the Bibliographie de la France on 30 December 1826 (no. 1064) consisted of portraits of generals Maison (by Weber), Davout (by Trolli), Lasalle (by Grevelan) and Desaix (by Marin-Lavigne). It is indicated in the Bibliographie de la France that the series would ultimately comprise 120 portraits, published in monthly livraisons by Chaillou-Potrelle.

The print reproduces a portrait by Guerin, see 1917,1208.3842 for print by Fiesinger after the same portrait

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.
