Notes | Wesseley suggests that this print was made by a certain John Smith (p. XI). Due to the production date is is impossible that this print would have been made by the famous English mezzotint artist of the same name. It is much more likely, that 'John Smith' is the translation of the name (Georg Friedrich!) Schmidt after whose print this mezzotint was made. For the engraving by Schmidt, which is kept in the first volume of the Schmidt albums and for more information on the self portrait by de la Tour, see 1838,1215.88. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

[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:
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. |
