File and processing

PNG, 3850 × 2830 pixels. The complete engraving, its monogram, printed title, artist's credit and explanatory note beneath it are preserved. The source page was turned 90 degrees clockwise by exact pixel permutation, aligned 0.26 degrees counterclockwise with one bicubic resampling, then cropped to (640, 410)–(4490, 3240) in the expanded 5291 × 3682 pixel image; right and bottom bounds are exclusive. The crop lies entirely within the source image; no added canvas is included. The sideways running header is outside the crop and remains available on the complete source page.

The natural colour of the paper is retained. No enlargement, colour or tonal correction, sharpening, retouching or reconstruction was applied. Full-page source JPEG: 3432487 bytes, SHA-256 e502483ce9604bd6b6431099f4701b56b69039b71d5150ff2276ecb6fa5d957d.
