Notes

Stephens suggests that the print was published about 1647 as a satire on the Independents who had formed an Association in East Anglia in that year; he compared the verse to lines in Quarles' "Shepherd's Eclogue" (1644). However, the quality of the engraving, and especially of the lettering, is higher than anything else known at that date and it is more likely that the print was made in the 1680s in order to associate the campaign to oust James II with the popular movements of the Civil War period; the earliest known works of J Collins date from the mid 1670s. M.Jones 'The Print in Early Modern England: An Historical Oversight', New Haven and London, 2010, pp.169-171, especially footnotes 34 and 35. Jones supports a late seventeenth-century publication date stating that a notice of what sounds very like a copy of Henrik Bloemaert's painting at sales held on 21st June 1689, where 'A Droll of an Owl reading by a Candle' is recorded as lot 45, and on 24th March 1691, where lot 268 is listed as 'a piece of an Owl a reading'. For the original print by Bloemaert and its meaning, see Eddy de Jongh & Ger Luijten 'Mirror of everyday life, Genreprints in the Netherlands 1550-1700', Rijksmuseum 1997, p.192.

Roethlisberger dates Bloemaert's print to c.1625.

[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:
Public domain

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.

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.
