Description
English: c. 1887 reproduction on two sheets of the 1529 Propaganda world map, believed to be a reproduction by Diogo Ribeiro of the Spanish Padron Real (Royal Standard Map) held at the Seville Casa de Contratacion (House of Trade). It shows Spanish uncertainty regarding the Pacific Coast of the Americas, the Spice Islands, and the exact details of locations around the Indian Ocean, while adding additional information from the expeditions of Magellan and others.
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).
