CPI Hänni/Itchner

Cher Monsieur,

Hänni -- qui a accompagné Itchner lors de l'umu ti à Huahine -- de retour à Paris a édité en part à 2 des tirages de son ami avant fin 1902 puis une seconde série après le 18 novembre 1903 (recto divisé) mais n'a pas pris lui-même de photographies. Il existe donc des versions "E. Hänni, éditeur" et "A. Itchner, Huahine". Cordialement

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Manuella Kalili.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Manuella Kalili.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a non-free file from a commercial source (e.g. Associated Press, Getty Images), where the file itself is not the subject of sourced commentary. If you can explain why the file can be used under the non-free content guidelines, please add the appropriate non-free use tag and rationale.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.  $999$REAL 💬 ⬆   19:56, 5 January 2026 (UTC)
