CC0 1.0 (https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/). https://www.artic.edu/artworks/129161. Full-frame proportional resize and JPEG compression. Individual title concordance: The exact object is the cancelled copper etching plate, not a paper impression. The shortened local title omits copperplate; exact native object ID, inventory 1933.666b, date, medium and dimensions identify the same physical plate. A plate-specific image label is required. Both titles are preserved in source evidence; no catalogue title, type, date or publication state is changed. View scope: The supplied photograph shows the complete cancelled copper etching plate, with its metallic surface, plate edges and cancellation lines. This exact physical object has inventory 1933.666b; it is not a paper impression. The existing shortened title and Print classification remain unchanged.
