Notes

This is one from a series of 197 illustrations to Le Roy's 1678 edition of "Notitia Marchionatus" (published in Amsterdam by Albertus Magnus and printed by Frans Lamminga) showing castles, abbeys, monasteries, palaces and tombs in the Southern Netherlands. The series is registered under the numbers 1848,0205.281 to 477. The complete book was broken up on acquisition, and the plates placed in different series: most are under the printmaker, others are with portraits and topography, and the residue (mostly coats of arms and effigies) is with the 'Broken Series'. For an impression of the title-page see 1848,0205.281; for the letterpress title see 1983,U.279. The plates are engraved by various printmakers such as Richard Collin, Philibert Bouttats, Franz Ertinger (IFF 101-145; IFF 626-664), Wenceslaus Hollar, Lucas Vorsterman II (Hollstein 115-163), Jacob Harrewyn, Jacques Neeffs (Hollstein 33), Edouard van Ordonie, Adam Perelle, Jan van Troyen, Lucas van Uden and Lucas Vorsterman II among others; most of them not signed by the artist. Some of the illustrations were made prior to the publication (see for instance those by Hollar, Neeffs and Vorsterman) while others were specifically commissioned for the 1678 edition (those by Ertinger). Vorsterman contributed 46 illustrations which were initially used in Antonius Sanderus' "Presbyteri Chorographia sacra Brabantiaa" (Brussels: 1659). Some of the plates are re-used in later editions of Le Roy's publications: - "Castella et Praetoria Nobilium Brabantiae" or "De Kastelen en Borgten van de Edelen van Brabant" (Antwerp: 1694) - "Castella et Praetoria Nobilium Brabantiae" or "De Kastelen en Borgten van de Edelen van Brabant" (Amsterdam: 1696) - "Castella et Praetoria Nobilium Brabantiae" or "De Kastelen en Borgten van de Edelen van Brabant" (Leiden: 1699) - "Brabantia Illustrata" (Leiden, Amsterdam, The Hague: 1705) The plates in "Castella et Praetoria Nobilium Brabantiae" are arranged alphabetically so that no noble person would take offence at the order of appearance. An abridged version of the work was issued in 1694 and the first complete edition was published by Pieter van der Aa in 1699 in Leiden; with text appearing in Latin, French and Dutch.

This plate is printed on one sheet with 1848,0205.290.

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 70 years or fewer.

You must also include a United States public domain tag to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States. Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Jamaica has 95 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but it does implement the rule of the shorter term. Copyright may extend on works created by French who died for France in World War II (more information), Russians who served in the Eastern Front of World War II (known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia) and posthumously rehabilitated victims of Soviet repressions (more information).

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

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.
