Notes | This print appears to be from the first edition of the 'Hamlet' series, which was printed by Villain and published by Gihaut frères for Delacroix in 1843. The British Museum has three prints, including this one, from the 1843 edition (1918-6-29-7 to 9), two of which are on chine collé. There is also a complete set of the 1864 edition (1911-4-12-165 to 180). Another print in the collection (1865-1-14-80) appears to be from the 1864 edition. For more information on the series, see 1911-4-12-65. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

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. |
