SUMMARY
Wikimedia Commons file record for the frontispiece portrait of Louis Kuhne reproduced in his book Die neue Heilwissenschaft. The Commons record states the rights as 'Public domain' (LicenseShortName and UsageTerms both 'Public domain'), gives the author as unknown, and credits the source as the Internet Archive scan dieneueheilwiss00kuhngoog (a 1908 German printing). The record names the subject (Louis Kuhne) and the source book, which is the basis for the caption's identification. Source for the actor-role media entity kuhne-portrait. The image derives from a book scan rather than from one of the four named structured archives' catalogue records; the Commons file is the holding record and its public-domain posture is read directly from that record. A dated search on 2026-06-12 of the four supported structured archives found no separate institutional portrait record (Wellcome holds Kuhne's books but no portrait; the Library of Congress and BnF/Gallica returned none), so this Wikimedia Commons frontispiece, which credits the Internet Archive book scan dieneueheilwiss00kuhngoog, is treated as the holding record per the project's accepted-residual convention.
NOTES

This is the Wikimedia Commons file record (File:Louis Kuhne.jpg) for the frontispiece portrait of Louis Kuhne carried in his treatise Die neue Heilwissenschaft. The Commons record supplies the subject identification (Louis Kuhne), the source (the Internet Archive scan dieneueheilwiss00kuhngoog of a 1908 German printing), and the rights posture, which it states as public domain. It is used as the actor-role portrait for the practitioner and the case. The naming of the subject in the caption rests on the Commons record’s own description, which identifies the sitter and the book the frontispiece comes from.
