| Notes |
This print was registered at the Bibliothèque Nationale on 29 Nivoise au V (18 February 1797). Boilly's drawing in black chalk, pen and brown ink and watercolour is recorded in S.Siegfried, "The art of Louis Leopold Boilly", 1995, p.208 under note 46 (this information comes from Agnew's, London which exhibited the Boilly drawing for sale as its `Picture of the Month' in April 1999). Presumably this is the drawing now in the Städel in Frankfurt (see Margret Stuffmann in the Städel-Jahrbuch 2001, NF 18, pp.316-7). For "incroyables" and "merveilleuses", see 1874,0711.835 For an English copy dated 4 April 1798, see 2010,7081.1069 |

Licensing
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.  | ||||
