Author
English: Michael Symes (1761–1809), Drawing by Singey Bey, engraved by T. Medland (c. 1765–1833). Given that Singey Bey drew the picture per this source before the engraving was made for Syme's publication in 1799, Bey had likely died sometime in the mid-19th century, and the copyright, if he ever held it, would have expired by 1921.
