Summary

Description
English: Picture of Reginald Johnston, Empress Wan Rong, and Isabel Ingram in the Forbidden City, Beijing, China.

The context of the photo is given by Isabel Ingram's diary entry for June 11, 1924:

Went in at 10:30 as usual. Surprised the Emperor playing the piano in the Chien Hsiao Kung. The Empress was combing her hair. I watched the process. The Emperor came in and started to tickle her and was cutting up the whole day. It was suggested that my hair be combed Manchu style again. The Emperor agreed at once and sent for a photographer, also said he would dress Johnston up, too. The Emperor went over for him and brought him back to the Empress's palace before we were ready. They all watched the process. It took quite awhile -- making new parts, etc. Liu combed it again. I wore a light green gown with a lavender chin shih, which the Empress gave me afterwards. / more diary entries: https://www.flickr.com/photos/ken_mayer/albums/72157694027044410/

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.
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it meets three requirements:

  1. it was first published outside the United States (and not published in the U.S. within 30 days),
  2. it was first published before 1 March 1989 without copyright notice or before 1964 without copyright renewal or before the source country established copyright relations with the United States,
  3. it was in the public domain in its home country on the URAA date (January 1, 1996 for most countries).
For background information, see the explanations on Non-U.S. copyrights.
Note: This tag should not be used for sound recordings.

Based on information provided by the uploader at [2] and at [3] (archived at [4] archive copy at the Wayback Machine), this photograph appears to have been published in the Republic of China soon after its 1924 date of creation, and without copyright notice.
