Permission
(Reusing this file)
English: No permission is required because the photo entered the public domain in the late 1950s at the latest. It is unlikely that the publicity photo was originally printed with a valid copyright notice, which would have been required upon publication in the US prior to 1978 to ensure copyright protection. Even assuming the original work carried a copyright notice, any copyright that may have existed was not renewed. The photograph was published in the US prior to 1964 and was not renewed with the US Copyright Office before the expiration of its initial 28-year copyright term. Because of the lack of renewal, the photograph entered the public domain on January 1, 1959, at the latest, assuming publication in 1930. In 2003, the photo was republished in 78 Quarterly. As reproduced in that magazine, the photo bears the following notice: "All Rights Reserved. Copyright © 2003 Blues Images.com™. This photograph not to be reproduced or copied without express written permission." However, by that time the original copyright on the photo had lapsed, if it had ever existed in the first place, and a faithful reproduction of a public domain work cannot be copyrighted.
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:
Public domain
This work is in the public domain because it was published in the United States between 1929 and 1963, and although there may or may not have been a copyright notice, the copyright was not renewed. For further explanation, see Commons:Hirtle chart and the copyright renewal logs. 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 (70 years p.m.a.), Mainland China (50 years p.m.a., not Hong Kong or Macao), Germany (70 years p.m.a.), Mexico (100 years p.m.a.), Switzerland (70 years 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.
