Notes | This album of drawings by Holtzbecker illustrates the flowers in the garden of Eberhard Anckelmann, the father of the Hamburg merchant, Caspar Anckelmann who widely developed the garden, a view of which is illustrated by Holtzbecker in c.1669, in the 'Hortus Anckelmannianus' vol. 1, fol 2v - 3r (Berlin Kupferstichkabinett, Sign.78 D 4). For a history of the garden, see Anne Schattmann, 'Von der Leidenschaft für Blumen - das Florilegium des Caspar Anckelmann' in Michael Roth, Magdalena Bushart and Martin Sonnabend, 'Maria Sibylla Merian und die Tradition des Blumenbildes, exhibition catalogue, Staatliche Museen Kupferstichkabinett Berlin and Städel Museum, Frankfurt, 2017, pp. 117-125. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

[edit]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:
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. |
