Bifeche, île du Sénégal (illustration dans Nouvelle relation de l'Afrique occidentale, contenant une description exacte du Sénégal et des pays situés entre le Cap-Blanc et la rivière de Serre-Lionne, jusqu'à plus de 300 lieues en avant dans les terres, l'histoire naturelle de ces pays, les différentes nations qui y sont répandues, leurs religions et leurs moeurs, avec l'état ancien et présent des compagnies qui y font le commerce de Jean-Baptiste Labat.
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).
