One option would just be to use P996 (Scan file) or P18 (Image) on the
item for the 1881 Law.
But if you thought there was information relating specifically to the
physical object (eg size), that would not be appropriate on the general
item for the law, one option would be to create a new item, and record
it as a manifestation (P1557) of the law.
If there was information that specifically related to this individual
copy (eg location), you could instead consider recording it as an
exemplar (P1574).
The promised CommonsData system will have similar issues to consider,
when it comes to consider how to record scans of particular engravings.
It's possible that when CommonsData is up and running, the information
for the physical object would be stored there, and not on Wikidata --
but for the time being, there is surely no problem with prototyping
appropriate item structures on Wikidata (and appropriate chains of items
-- exemplar / manifestation / edition / work) etc.

(correct me if I’m wrong)
Some of them are interesting as they are the physical counterpart to an
abstract − for example, [2] is the original document for the 1881 French
Law on the Freedom of the Press, for which there are Wikipedia articles and
a Wikidata item [3]. Any suggestions on how to reconcile both?
