Notes |
The etching pasted on the verso has been identified by Dr Sachiko Kusukawa (Trinity College, Cambridge) and Michael Waters (Institute of Fine Arts, New York University) as the elevation of a mausoleum; from Jacques Androuet du Cerceau's "Temples à la manière antique" from around 1550. The ground plan of the same building can be found on the verso of 1928,0310.97, from the same Sloane album 5220. Literature: Susan Dackerman et al.. 'Prints and the Pursuit of Knowledge in Early Modern Europe', Yale UP, 2011, cat.no.38. Entry from 'Dürer and his Legacy': 'This is a close copy made by an anonymous Flemish printmaker of Dürer's woodcut, no. 243, published in Antwerp by Hans Liefrinck. The inscription is a French translation of the one on Dürer's woodcut, and includes the erroneous date of 1513 which is also seen on Dürer's drawing. The print was originally in an album in the possession of Sir Hans Sloane, the antiquarian and naturalist whose collection formed the foundation bequest to the British Museum in 1753. The album, which seems originally to have been assembled in the sixteenth century, contained prints of various unusual animals, a number of which, like the present sheet, have been decorated with impressions of flowers and plants.' |

[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. ![]() |
