| Notes |
The scene refers to the group of six Native-americans brought to Paris by Colonel David Delaunay and exhibited to the Parisian public. La Silhouette was published from the 24 December 1829 to the 2 January 1831. Founded by Honoré de Balzac, Emile de Girardin-Ratier and Victor Varaigne. It was the first weekly caricature journal published in France which valorised both text and image. The illustrations were executed by Henri Monnier, Charles Philipon, Grandville, Daumier, Devéria and Traviès. See: David S. Kerr, 'Caricature and French political culture 1830-1848. Charles Philipon and the illustrated press', Oxford, 2000; Judith Wechsler, 'A Human Comedy: Physiognomy and Caricature in 19th Century Paris', London, 1982 |

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.  | ||||
