Caption:

Un despote, dit un sçavant, ressemble à un enfant sot et méchant qui auroit la force d'un homme ; et la taille d'un géant sans les proportions, et les traits de l'enfance. Sans leur douceur, la bouche béante, l'air imbécille l'oeil hagard, les dens longues et aiguës, des oreilles d'ane, et des Griffes de Tigre.

Signature:

Dessiné par Jn Jqu. Le Queu archit.

(Reusing this file)

	This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer. You must also include a United States public domain tag to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States.
	This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

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).

Previous public domain rationale, no longer applicable

The Bibliothèque nationale de France has determined this item is in France's public domain. It is located here.

Public domain works must be out of copyright in both the country of origin and the United States, and must be accompanied one or more valid copyright tags to indicate its status. Absence of such tags may result in a file's deletion.
