Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Portrait of William McIntosh, Chief of the Lower Creek Indians in Georgia, attributed to Nathan Negus and Joseph Negus, 1821. (Formerly attributed to Washington Allston.)
In a journal entry dated April 23, 1821, Nathan Negus recorded, "We started for the Indian Springs [Georgia] for the purpose of painting Gen'l [General] McIntosh's portrait. . . . The next day we travelled through the wilderness — at sundown we arrived at the place of destination — Gen'l McIntosh was too full of business to attend to his portrait and of consequence we waited several days without doing anything — here we saw about 12 hundred Indians." Source: Typescript of Negus journal entry, as quoted from Agnes Dodd to Peter Brannon, undated letter, Alabama Department of History and Archives, director’s files, as quoted in Naomi Slipp, "Traversing Two Cultures: A Portrait of William McIntosh, Southern Slave Owner and Lower Creek Chief," Panorama: Journal of the Association of Historians of American Art 6, no. 2 (Fall 2020).

Licensing

[edit]
This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art 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 70 years or fewer.


You must also include a United States public domain tag to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States. Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Jamaica has 95 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but it does implement the rule of the shorter term. Copyright may extend on works created by French who died for France in World War II (more information), Russians who served in the Eastern Front of World War II (known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia) and posthumously rehabilitated victims of Soviet repressions (more information).

The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
