Notes

This is a previously unknown proof state of a trade card, formerly known only in a single lettered impression at Waddesdon. It comes with the lettered state (2004,1031.3). Huquier was at this address between c.1729 and 1737. The group of prints (2004-10-31-2 to 12) all come from Huquier's own reference album of his publications, of which the remains were dispersed by Christopher Mendez in his catalogue 86. The vendor presented the empty album to the BM at the same time (unregistered reference material, see images attached to the present record). For the album and its contents see Antony Griffiths in 'Print Quarterly', XXII 2005, pp.167-8. To the list of purchasers given there, add: cat.9 & 10 Baltimore Museum of Art cat.11 Princeton University cat.14 University of Richmond, Virginia & Picker Art Gallery, Colgeat University cat.15 Rhode Island School of Design

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.
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.
