File:Cooley Store Cropped (Small).png

This image is in the public domain in the United States. In most cases, this means that it was first published prior to January 1, 1929 (see the template documentation for more cases). Other jurisdictions may have other rules, and this image might not be in the public domain outside the United States. See Wikipedia:Public domain and Wikipedia:Copyrights for more details. PD-US Public domain in the United States //en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Cooley_Store_Cropped_(Small).png

There is not a picture of the subject available anywhere, and the picture of his store would enrich the article, even not featuring Cooley properly.

The picture was obtained from the following collection: Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States. Commandery of the State of Massachusetts, collector. Civil War collection: Guide; Houghton Library, Harvard College Library.(http://oasis.harvard.edu:10080/oasis/deliver/~hou00124).

The description for the item is:

(509) Cooley's general store. 1 item in 1 folder.
Depicts a general store exterior with several figures standing in front.
A sign advertises the release of the book Morgan by Ned Buntline, released in 1861.
May possibly be the store owned by William Cooley in Tampa (Fla.).

Below, the reasoning for the tagging:

Libraries and museums frequently assert publication rights over reproductions of public domain materials in their collections, but Wikipedia relies on Bridgeman Art Library v. Corel Corp. to say this has no legal basis. (It's a district court decision and therefore is not binding precedent, but the reasoning is held to be sound.) Tag it {{PD-US}}.
