Summary

William Hoskins, chemist and inventor, with daughter Florence and wife Ada Mae (née Mariner), ca. 1885, Chicago, Illinois. Inset from a larger family portrait with elders (which did not have any better resolution - it was simply a pixelated blow-up of the original which was approximately the resolution presented here).

Flagging as PD, because picture is approximately 122 years old. It also predates 1923, so it's PD anyway. Furthermore, its first known publication (which does not indicate copyright, anyway; this being a family portrait provided by the family, the copyright would almost certainly have been vested in the family, not the publication they provided the photo to) was in The American magazine, May 1927, but according to this page and incopyright.org archive copy at the Wayback Machine this publication's copyright was not renewed, and neither was the article's individually. Therefore, marking this "PD-US-not_renewed" as well as "PD-old" "PD-US-expired", just to cover the bases. — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont] ‹(-¿-)› 14:35, 21 August 2008 (UTC); rev'd. 00:40, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
