English: Photographer uncredited. Published in the US by Paramount Pictures.
English: The photograph is in the public domain in the United States because Paramount Around the World (August 1, 1929) Vol. 2, No. 8, in its entirety as a collective work, was published prior to 1978 without a valid copyright notice and thereby forfeited copyright-protected status. Even if the photograph is assumed to be a German work (as it was most likely the work of a German photographer created in Germany, although this is uncertain), its copyright would have expired under European law by now anyway because it is an anonymous work. Applicable copyright law in Germany provides that the copyright term of anonymous works with no authorship claims runs for 70 years after it was made available to the public (see PD-anon-70-EU). Any international copyright on the photograph expired as of 1999 at the very latest.
This is a retouched picture, which means that it has been digitally altered from its original version. Modifications made by Blz 2049.
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:
Note that it may still be copyrighted in jurisdictions that do not apply the rule of the shorter term for US works (depending on the date of the author's death), such as Canada (50 p.m.a.), Mainland China (50 p.m.a., not Hong Kong or Macao), Germany (70 p.m.a.), Mexico (100 p.m.a.), Switzerland (70 p.m.a.), and other countries with individual treaties.
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.
