Beskrivelse

Beskrivelse
English: 19th-century illustration of a Hindu astronomer.

Original caption: "Dybuck, an astronomer, calculating an Eclipse."

The illustration, as well as the term dybuck, is derived from an etching with the title "Daybouk ou astronome hindou" by Frans Balthazar Solvyns (between 1791 and 1803), published in his Les Hindous (1808)[1][2][3]

The original caption by Solvyns describes the specific individual he depicted:

"He who is the subject of the plate is sitting before his house, calculating an eclipse. Before him are his tablets, and in his hand the chalk with which he writes on a blackened board. He was often consulted by the learned, even from Europe, and expressed himself with great accuracy and precision'
(Note that the filename is mistaken, this image was never meant to represent Brahmagupta, nor does it show any "ancient" astronomer; it was rather drawn from life in the 1790s and shows a then-contemporary traditional Hindu astronomer)

Public domain

Dette verket er offentlig eiendom i Norge, EU og land der den opphavsrettslige vernetiden etter opphavsmannens død er 70 år eller kortere. Merk at noen land har lengre vernetid.


For å kunne lagres på Commons må verket både være offentlig eiendom i USA og i opphavslandet. Vernetiden kan i noen tilfeller være lengre enn 80 år i USA, så i tillegg til dette merket trengs det et eget merke som forklarer hvorfor verket er offentlig eiendom (public domain) i USA. Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Jamaica has 95 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but it does implement the rule of the shorter term. Copyright may extend on works created by French who died for France in World War II (more information), Russians who served in the Eastern Front of World War II (known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia) and posthumously rehabilitated victims of Soviet repressions (more information).
