For a time, confident of his skill as a riderand undismayed either by the speed or altitudeof his flight, the prince had no wish to returnto the palace ; but presently the thought ofhis fathers anxiety occurred to him, and being of atender and considerate disposition he immediatelyendeavoured to divert his steed from its forwardcourse. This he sought to do by turning in thecontrary direction the peg which he had handledwhen mounting, but to his astonishment thehorse responded by rising still higher in the airand flying forward with redoubled swiftness.Had courage then deserted him, his situationmight have become perilous ; but preserving hisaccustomed coolness he began carefully to searchfor the means by which the speed of the machinemight be abated, and before long he perceivedunder the horses mane a smaller peg, which hehad no sooner touched than he felt himself de-scending rapidly toward the earth, with a speedthat lessened the nearer he came to ground.

Licensing[edit]

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 1953, 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 70 years or fewer.

You must also include a United States public domain tag to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States. Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Jamaica has 95 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but it does implement the rule of the shorter term. Copyright may extend on works created by French who died for France in World War II (more information), Russians who served in the Eastern Front of World War II (known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia) and posthumously rehabilitated victims of Soviet repressions (more information).
This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.
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.
This image was taken from Flickr's The Commons. The uploading organization may have various reasons for determining that no known copyright restrictions exist, such as:
  1. The copyright is in the public domain because it has expired;
  2. The copyright was injected into the public domain for other reasons, such as failure to adhere to required formalities or conditions;
  3. The institution owns the copyright but is not interested in exercising control; or
  4. The institution has legal rights sufficient to authorize others to use the work without restrictions.
