Notes on this copy

  • #1The file carries images, and no check is recorded yet that none of them is a picture of the person (the collection keeps no likenesses).

  • #9Saved from Wikisource without a pinned revision number; the revision is recorded inside the file itself.

Reading copy: the saved page with its pictures left out. A picture appears in the reading copy only once the library has recorded its licence, the licence is on the library's pass list, and it has been checked for a likeness. See its pictures at the source (another site). Exact file: the page byte for byte; its pictures do not load here.
