Notes | In pen along the bottom of the print is written 'My sister takes this picture for part of the subject of her Poem called Christmas Eve page 122'. According to Nicholas Tromans (January 2017) this inscription was apparently made by William Michael Rossetti, in reference to the poem by his sister Christina Rossetti, 'A Christmas Carol' - 'Angels and archangels / May have gathered there, / Cherubim and seraphim / Throng'd the air'. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Licensing
editThis 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. |
