  • A photographic work, work deemed to be a photographic work or work of applied art created before 1 July 1970 (more info here); or
  • Another type of work whose author died before 1946; or
  • An anonymous work or a work deemed to be anonymous, or a work by a collective person whose authors were not individually identified, published or disclosed before 1946.

The author died in 1920, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.
