This is a faithful photographic reproduction of an original two-dimensional work of art. The work of art itself is in the
public domain in its source country for the following reason:
Public domainPublic domainfalsefalse
The
copyright of this image has expired in the
European Union because it was published more than 70 years ago without a public claim of authorship (anonymous or
pseudonymous), and no subsequent claim of authorship was made in the 70 years following its first
publication.
To use this template, the image must meet both of the following two conditions:
published over 70 years ago, and
the original author's actual identity was not publicly disclosed in connection with this image within 70 years following its publication.
Images that lack either of these two conditions should not use this template.
Reasonable
evidence must be presented that the author's name (e.g., the original photographer, portrait painter) was not published with a claim of copyright in conjunction with the image within 70 years of its original publication. Works which had not entered Public Domain in their country in 1996 that were uploaded before 1 March 2012 should be marked additionally with
{{Not-PD-US-URAA}}.
Note: In some countries anonymous works are copyrighted until 70 years after the death of the author if the author's identity became public in any way during the original term. In Germany this applies to certain works published before July 1, 1995; see
Übergangsrecht.

public domain by waiving all of their rights to the work worldwide under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights, to the extent allowed by law. You can copy, modify, distribute and perform the work, even for commercial purposes, all without asking permission.
