1916 American edition published by L.W. deLawrence.

I'm not completely sure of the copyright status of the [http://www.chaosmatrix.org/library/books/greaterkey/greaterkey_pentacles.pdf Rowe online edition]. There is no copyright notice, but there are suggestions included in the [http://www.chaosmatrix.org/library/books/greaterkey/greaterkey1.pdf first part of the book] for the most pleasing method of printing to hard copy. Clearly it is intended to be freely distributed. I also think my retouching is significant (the image was quite speckly), and it is only a small image from the book, which is itself a facsimile of a book that was published in the US before 1923. The image itself is a substantially equivalent copy of the original 17th century diagram, with no artistic or creative elements added. In fact, my suspicion is that the deLawrence edition used a direct photographic reproduction from the original manuscript.

That book in turn reproduced its drawings from S.L. MacGregor Mathers' 1889 edition, which in turn provided drawings that were substantially equivalent copies of original 17th century diagram, with no artistic or creative elements added.

For these reasons I believe it is reasonable to place this image in the public domain.}}
