Every botanical plate is an 18th- or 19th-century plate whose Wikimedia Commons page states a public-domain licence, downloaded once and served from this site. Author, date and licence are as Commons states them. Each page’s licence template has been read and checked against the author’s death year (provisional); each licence is not yet independently confirmed.
