[edit] Summary

Scanned titlepage of my facsimile copy of the first edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica, published in 1771. Slightly rotated and saved using the GIMP. Scanned and modified by me on 3 April 2007 and released into the public domain, owing to its age.

[edit] Licensing

Public domain This image (or other media file) is in the public domain because its copyright has expired.

This applies to the United States, Canada, the European Union and those countries with a copyright term of life of the author plus 70 years.

Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 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. Côte d'Ivoire has a general copyright term of 99 years and Honduras has 75 years, but they do implement that rule of the shorter term.
