Summary[edit]

Description
English: Photo portrait of American author Cormac McCarthy at his writing desk in his home in unincorporated Blount County, Tennessee. McCarthy, then 37 years old, was working on his third novel, Child of God, ultimately published in 1973. The photo was published in the Maryville-Alcoa Times, a Tennessee newspaper, on February 28, 1971. The original caption accompanying the photo was as follows:

Blount author at writing desk. Cormac McCarthy, Rt. 2, Louisville, is slowly creating his third novel at this desk in his home. First two novels, published to lavish critical acclaim, have sold moderately well and McCarthy has been approached about selling film options on both books. He has no target completion date for third, as-yet untitled book, but indicates he will write it only as quickly as he can, while still maintaining same quality as in first two efforts.

Permission
(Reusing this file)
English: According to the McCarthy scholars Dianne C. Luce and Zachary Turpin, the original article was published in the United States "prior to 1978, ... without any visible or registered copyright notice," and is "therefore in the public domain." See Luce & Turpin (2022), p. 132 (fn. 1).
This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published in the United States between 1929 and 1977, inclusive, without a copyright notice. For further explanation, see Commons:Hirtle chart as well as a detailed definition of "publication" for public art. Note that it may still be copyrighted in jurisdictions that do not apply the rule of the shorter term for US works (depending on the date of the author's death), such as Canada (50 p.m.a.), Mainland China (50 p.m.a., not Hong Kong or Macao), Germany (70 p.m.a.), Mexico (100 p.m.a.), Switzerland (70 p.m.a.), and other countries with individual treaties.

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.
