EDITORIAL INFORMATION · 1 NOVEMBER 2026
Sources, Attribution and Copyright
Copyright distinctions between Hernández's public-domain poem, later interpretations, historic photographs and modern reconstructions.
The original poem
José Hernández's El gaucho Martín Fierro (1872) and La vuelta de Martín Fierro (1879) are public-domain literary works. This edition relies on Project Gutenberg base transcriptions with publicly documented changes; see Sources and Editorial Integrity.
Historical photography
The historical portrait of José Hernández has an attribution and rights record at Wikimedia Commons; the identified photographer is unknown. Inspect the file-specific record rather than assuming every archival image can be reused freely.
Digital recreations
Modern photorealistic gaucho, house and landscape images created for this publication are reconstructions, not nineteenth-century photographs. They must be clearly identified as such.
Third-party work
Links, brief citations and research references do not transfer rights in essays, photographs, facsimiles or other materials. Each resource may have different licensing conditions and restrictions.
Corrections and provenance
Consult the documented textual method and the versioned repository.
