| Notes |
One of two drawings on the Château de Folembray drawn by Du Cerceau for this album; see 1972,U.793 for comment on whole series. The corps de logis was burnt by Emperor Charles V's troops in 1552 (the caption, 'mil cinq cens', is incomplete, as in '15..', rather than erroneous, as in '1500'). While Du Cerceau probably did not transcribe the full extent of the damages, the absence of roof bears witness to the event. For further comment see Boudon/Mignot, 'Jacques Androuet Du Cerceau', Paris 2010, pp.72-75. |

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.  | ||||
