Is this image PD? Can Anyone confirm this?

I believe the US Library of Congress owns the negative. The LOC number is LC-USZ62-6166-A (LC-USZ62 prefix indicates a black and white negative) --FranksValli 09:49, 12 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

Even as a FA image, is it of concern that this image's slightly cropped?--Kjmoran 01:50, 2 April 2007 (UTC)Reply


It is older than 92 years old, so it is not covered by coppyright law any more, correct? 76.190.206.44 03:49, 5 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Well, age alone isn't the determination of copyright. However, for this image, the Library of Congress says there are no restrictions on use, which means yes, it's not copyrighted anymore. howcheng {chat} 07:15, 5 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
But in this particular case, age clearly is the determining factor. I've modified the copyright tag accordingly.--Pharos 07:29, 5 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
