This is a retouched picture, which means that it has been digitally altered from its original version. Modifications: Dirt, ink blotches, and similar damage/printing errors fixed (engravings are mass produced, so I see no reason to keep the flaws of a particular copy); text selectively darkened slightly rotated, due to not being in line. etc..

Licensing

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 100 years or fewer.
