This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain in its source country for the following reason:
Public domainPublic domainfalsefalse
This image (or other media file) is in the public domain because its copyright has expired and its author is anonymous. This applies to the European Union and those countries with a copyright term of 70 years after the work was made available to the public and the author never disclosed their identity. Important: Always mention where the image comes from, as far as possible, and make sure the author never claimed authorship.
Note: In Germany and possibly other countries, certain anonymous works published before July 1, 1995 are copyrighted until 70 years after the death of the author. See Übergangsrecht. Please use this template only if the author never claimed authorship or their authorship never became public in any other way. If the work is anonymous or pseudonymous (e.g., published only under a corporate or organization's name), use this template for images published more than 70 years ago.For a work made available to the public in the United Kingdom, please use Template:PD-UK-unknown instead.
It is also in the public domain in the United States for the following reason:
Public domainPublic domainfalsefalse
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 1955;
the death date of its author is not known, and it was created before 1905;
it is an anonymous work, a pseudonymous work, or a work made for hire, and it was created before 1905.
The above provisions are contained in 17 U.S.C.§ 303. See also this page for more information.
The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain". This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
