Notes | The print is dated 1691 on the basis of the latest event alluded to, the fall of Limerick to William III on 3 October of that year. The composition is taken from an engraved portrait print of Louis XIV published by Robert Bonnart in 1688 (reproduced in K.Norberg & S.Rosenbaum (eds), 'Fashion prints in the age of Louis XIV', Texas 2014, p.161), to which the figure leaning from the window has been added. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

[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. |
