Description
English: The battle-cruiser 'Renown' or 'Repulse'; and studies of a man in a rowing boat
The main study at the top of the sheet is a distant port-quarter view of one of the battlecruisers, 'Renown' or 'Repulse' in late 1916 or early 1917 before the removal of the main topmast. She appears to be making passage with other units in the distance, and a small fishing or rowing boat in the foreground. The three pencil sketches below are a rapid analysis of the body movements of a man sculling a similar rowing boat (that is, standing and propelling it by a twisting motion of a single oar over the stern).

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 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.

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.
