Notes

The five tinted lithographs are stitched between grey-paper covers. The etched cover (not allocated a register number) is not described in Winkler, "Die Frühzeit der deutschen Lithographie: Katalog der Bilddrucke von 1796-1821" (1975), pp.83-4. The etching is signed with the monogram "JR.", which is visible on the rocky ledge to the left of the shaded dog lower left. There is no other lettering. Of the lithographic plates, only the first has a title; the rest have only the signature 'Ernst Fries fec. 1820'.

According to Rumbler's catalogue 44 of 2010, no.28, a complete series should contain six lithographs as well as the etched cover sheet. this set lacks the second plate as reproduced in that catalogue, showing one side of the ruined castle (the south side?), with the river to the right. Since the BM set is still in the original wrapper (though glued rather than stitched), it might be that it was issued in this form.

[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 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.
