Summary

Description Arms, tentacles and head (buccal region including beak visible) of giant squid from Logy Bay, Newfoundland, photographed draped over Moses Harvey's sponge bath, November 1873. Annotations by Addison Emery Verrill include a 1-foot scale bar and the following text: "Architeuthis monachus (No. 5) Logie Bay, N.Foundland about 1/8 natural size between 1/8 and 1/9. The tub is 38 1/2 inches in diameter and circular. Harvey (?) letter. Some of the suckers are broken off on the short arms. They alternate in two regular rows. On the club of the long arm there is a marginal row of small suckers on each side alternating with the large ones. One sucker gone on this long arm." (Aldrich, 1991:459)

Author Variously attributed to John Maunder (a local photographer from St. John's), Moses Harvey (1820–1901) himself, and Messrs. McKenny and Parsons (also of St. John's) – probably the latter; see Aldrich (1991:457).
Permission
(Reusing this file)
This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain
This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.
Public domain works must be out of copyright in both the United States and in the source country of the work in order to be hosted on the Commons. If the work is not a U.S. work, the file must have an additional copyright tag indicating the copyright status in the source country.
Note: This tag should not be used for sound recordings.PD-1923Public domain in the United States//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Logy_Bay_giant_squid,_1873.jpg

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
