Notes

This print is part of a larger series entitled 'Voitures', as suggested by the inscription at upper right of the sheet: 'Voitures No. 19'. This print was published by Charles Motte in circa 1839, according to IFF's dating. Motte's series bears a similarity in theme to the later lithographic series 'Voitures', published by Boivin in 1841-1844. The British Museum does not hold the complete set published by Motte or Boivin.

The relationship and connection between the 'Voitures' series published by Boivin and Motte is unclear. For the mention of Motte's series, see IFF, Vol. 1, p. 40; for the titles in Boivin's series on 'Voitures', refer to IFF, Vol. 1, p. 54-55.

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.
