As Adam lives in Britain, which makes it incredibly easy to acquire copyright in his works, he grants, if needed, an irrevokable license to use this work however you see fit. He requests attribution where possible, and realises that "where possible" means that that request is not legally enforcable. Adam Cuerden (talk) 15:44, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

Restoration note: The rotation is a compromise between three things: 1. trying to get horizontals and verticals straight. 2. Not wanting to crop the detailed painting in the upper left. and 3. Wanting to limit the amount of reconstruction in the upper right needed because of the rotation (the top edge isn't parallel to the lines meant to be horizontal), so as to not put too much of myself into the image. I went with keeping pretty much all the detail in the upper left, but rotating about two tenths of a degree short of the ideal. Adam Cuerden (talk) 12:48, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
