Title

Committee of Public Safety. An II.

Description

In a large room with columns men conversing in small groups others attend. They are dressed in coats shaped redingottes, wearing pants with boots and sometimes wearing tricorn hats with tricolor. The room is divided by a red white blue ribbon tied in the center. It is occupied by an assembly seat four rows facing each other with a wide table that serves as an office.
In reality, it is not the Committee of Public Safety: the legend of the watercolor is fanciful, this work is the copy of an engraving which represents the general assembly of the Batavian Republic in The Hague, on August 28 1795.”

Permission
( Reusing this file )

This file might NOT be in the public domain .

It was previously considered to be in the public domain because it is a scan (or similar) by the Bibliotheque Nationale de France, but not everything scanned by the BNF is automatically in the public domain.

It is possible that this file is in the public domain for other reasons, for example because it was published a long time ago (anything before ca. 1900 is most likely ok) or because its author / artist / photographer died over 70 years ago and it was published over 95 years ago. In such cases, a new rationale should be applied, and a different license tag (see Commons:Licensing and valid license tags at Commons:Copyright tags ) should be used.

If the file is not found to be in the public domain, it might be nominated for deletion ( NOT by any automatic process, but manually).

See below for the previous rationale (not applicable anymore).
