    Notes

    A scene from Malory, as recast by Tennyson in his 'Idylls of the King' (1859). In the relevant poem, 'Guinevere', the cheerful pointlessness of a May Day procession quickly leads to something less innocent:

    For thus it chanced one morn when all the court,
    Green-suited, but with plumes that mocked the may,
    Had been, their wont, a-maying and returned,
    That Modred still in green, all ear and eye,
    Climbed to the high top of the garden-wall
    To spy some secret scandal if he might,
    etc.

    This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
    Public domain

    The author died in 1934, so 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 80 years or fewer.


    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, 1931.

    The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
    This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
