[edit]![]() | This work is in the public domain because it was published in the United States between 1929 and 1977 inclusive, without a copyright notice. Unless the author has been dead for several years, it is not in the public domain in countries that do not apply the rule of the shorter term for US works. This includes Canada, China (not Hong Kong, Macao, or Taiwan Area), Germany, Mexico, Switzerland, and other countries with individual treaties. See also further explanation. | ![]() |
The photo was published simultaneously in many newspapers, some of which had no copyright notice at all (neither for the photo in particular, nor for the newspaper as a whole). For example:
- The Cincinnati Enquirer
- Philadelphia Daily News
- The Austin American
- Warren Times-Mirror and Observer
- Evening Herald and Ashland Daily News
- Shamokin News-Dispatch
- Kingsport News
- The Tipton Daily Tribune
Copyright was therefore forfeited per section 9 of the Copyright Act of 1909, which required that notice of copyright be affixed to every published copy.
![]() | This non-U.S. work was published in 1929 or later, but is in the public domain in the United States because it was simultaneously published (within 30 days) in the U.S. and in its source country and is in the public domain in the U.S. as a U.S. work (no copyright registered, or not renewed). For background information, see the explanations on non-U.S. copyrights. | ![]() |
This file will not be in the public domain in both its home country and the United States until January 1, 2050 and should not be transferred to Wikimedia Commons until that date, as Commons requires that images be free in the source country and in the United States. |
The photo's country of origin is unclear, as it was distributed by United Press International and may have been published simultaneously in any number of countries. Per the Berne Convention's definition of "country of origin", the country with the shortest copyright term out of those where the photo was published would be the country of origin. Thus it is likely that the photo will be eligible for transfer to Wikimedia Commons on January 1, 2050, 50 years after the photographer's death, the shortest copyright term allowed among Berne Convention countries.
