Notes

The tract tells a story of a Tapuyan (native South American) who has used the feathers of a number of birds who take their revenge on him once he has fallen. The composition draws on the traditional iconography of Prometheus attacked by the raven.

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.
