Summary

Description

English: From the William Wallace collection. Believed to have been unpublished in the US, but its author is known and thus it is free of copyright as the author has been dead for over 100 years. If it was published, the work is public domain due to having been published in the 19th Century, which all published works from are public domain in the United States.

Historical Notes The Missouri River valley flooded in April of 1881. In Omaha, a temporary dam built to protect downtown businesses did not hold up against the flood water. On April 7, the floodwaters reached 23 1/3 feet. Source: Jeffrey Spencer, Historic Photos of Omaha (Nashville: Turner Publishing, 2007), p. 20.

Licensing

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:

	The author died in 1915, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer. You must also include a United States public domain tag to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States.
This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.

This work was never published prior to January 1, 2003, and is currently in the public domain in the United States because it meets one of the following conditions:

its author died before 1954;
the death date of its author is not known, and it was created before 1904;
it is an anonymous work, a pseudonymous work, or a work made for hire, and it was created before 1904.

The above provisions are contained in 17 U.S.C. § 303. See also this page for more information.
