• Although the immediate source of this image (Picture-Play Magazine) was published in June 1924, this is a film still from the motion picture The Shepherd King, which has a copyright registration date of December 10, 1923 and so is now in the public domain.
• Even if this film still did not share the copyright status of the film itself, its publication (as a promotional image) was almost certainly in 1923. Regardless, in the unlikely worst-case scenario in which the Picture-Play article was the first publication of this image, a thorough search of 1951-1952 copyright renewals does not indicate any renewal potentially associated with The Shepherd King, Picture-Play Magazine, or this image specifically.
