Notes | The portrait of Strangford was inserted in Evans's "English Bards ...." in 1819. It is placed adjacent to the passage where Byron accused Strangford of plagiarism in his publication of "Poems from the Portuguese of Camoens"; Strangford had the plate for this print destroyed so that it would not be used in this way by extra-illustrators (see Proceedings of the Society of Antiquaries, 1873-76, p. 520, where the print is attributed to Scriven; information from Bernard Nurse). | |||||||||||||||||||||||

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. |
