Summary
| Description | Scanned cover of the dust jacket for the hardcover first edition of John Ashbery's 1962 poetry collection The Tennis Court Oath. The cover illustration is said to be a circa-1815 print depicting the Serment du Jeu de paume (called the "Tennis Court Oath" in English), a decisive moment in the French Revolution. |

| Source | The immediate source of the image file is a scan from atelierpoesia.it (direct link to jpg). I've cropped it, but it's otherwise unaltered. |
| Author | Unknown author; book published by Wesleyan University Press, no designer is credited on the book's copyright page or the dust jacket (here's the back page and the left flap at abebooks). According to the Ashbery Resource Center Catalogue (search "tennis court oath"), the artwork is "a German print depicting the swearing of the Tennis Court Oath. Per J.R. de la Torre Bueno of Wesleyan U.P., the print was taken from a volume of scenes of the French Revolution, published around 1815." |
| Permission (Reusing this file) |
No permission is required. First, the image is a mechanical scan that does not constitute a work of original authorship in and of itself (i.e., it is a faithful reproduction of the cover itself without modification, rather than a creative photo of the book cover). Second, the image only contains information in the public domain: a public-domain illustration and a small amount of text. Although specific authorship/publication info for the illustration has not been identified, its publication has been dated to circa 1815; even assuming a margin of error of 100 years, it would be will within the public domain. The minor alterations, layout, and textual elements do not cross the threshold of originality and thus do not result in a separately copyrightable work. Please note that, although this cover design is in the public domain, the contents of the book itself are copyrighted. See also:

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.  |
