Text Appearing Before Image:

This/ thought he, I can sell in the market, where I may get forit enough to buy a measure of corn ; and, if oneis to judge by weight, what lies within mayprove yet more valuable. Thus reckoning, he prised out the stopper withhis knife, and turning the vessel upside downlooked for the contents to follow. Great washis astonishment when nothing but smoke cameout of it. The smoke rose in a thick blackcolumn and spread like a mist between earthand sky, till presently, drawing together, it tookform; and there in its midst stood a mightyGenie, whose brows touched heaven while hisfeet rested upon ground. His head was like adome, his hands were like flails, and his legslike pine trees ; his mouth was black as a cavern,his nostrils were like trumpets, his eyes blazedlike torches, and his wings whirled round andover him like the simoom of the desert. At so fearful a sight all the fishermans courageoozed out of him; but the Genie, perceiving

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

The author died in 1953, so 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.
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.
This image was taken from Flickr's The Commons. The uploading organization may have various reasons for determining that no known copyright restrictions exist, such as:
  1. The copyright is in the public domain because it has expired;
  2. The copyright was injected into the public domain for other reasons, such as failure to adhere to required formalities or conditions;
  3. The institution owns the copyright but is not interested in exercising control; or
  4. The institution has legal rights sufficient to authorize others to use the work without restrictions.
