Rights, corrections and removals

Every image on these pages is shown under the open or public-domain terms stated by its source, or under direct permission recorded for that specific image. Every record links back to the catalogue it came from. A record whose display rights or permission cannot be established is withheld from the catalogue; manuscript entries may appear as a citation with a link to the holding library instead of a reproduction.

If you hold rights in something shown here and would like it removed, or you have found a record that misstates its source, date or licence, please write to hinoktesfayyohannes1@gmail.com or use the feedback page. Name the record and it will be taken down or corrected.
