Licensing[edit]

This image is a faithful reproduction of a two-dimensional uncopyrighted work of art and the image itself is in the public domain in the United States because under US copyright law, originality of expression is necessary for copyright protection, and a mere photograph of an out-of-copyright 2D work may not be protected under American copyright law. The official position of the Wikimedia Foundation is that all faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works should be considered to be in the public domain regardless of their country of origin (even in countries where mere labor is enough to make a reproduction eligible for protection).

The depicted two-dimensional work of art is in the public domain for the following reason:

This image is in the public domain in the United States because it was first published outside the United States prior to January 1, 1929. Other jurisdictions have other rules. Also note that this image may not be in the public domain in the 9th Circuit if it was first published on or after July 1, 1909 in noncompliance with US formalities, unless the author is known to have died in 1953 or earlier (more than 70 years ago) or the work was created in 1903 or earlier (more than 120 years ago.)^[1]

Information on this image (such as source and the creator's lifetime) with respect to the depicted work of art should always be listed if known. This image should not be transferred to Wikimedia Commons unless the depicted work of art can be verified to be in the public domain in its country of first publication.

If the depicted work of art is in the public domain in its origin country please add |pdsource=yes to this template's invocations, and consider moving the file to Wikimedia Commons
