English: This copy of the original photo is available at the City of Vancouver Archives (reference code: AM1523-S3-F001-: 2008-010.0700). The archives' copy was created in 1981 by the Chinese-Canadian historian Paul Yee. The version here at Commons was cropped from Yee's copy and retouched; see upload history below for Yee's original scan. For comparison, a (watermarked, lower-resolution) scan of the original publicity photo (including margins and copyright notice) can be seen at Worthpoint.com.

Permission
(Reusing this file)
English: The photo is in the public domain in the following jurisdictions (at minimum):
  • The United States: The publicity photo was published with a valid copyright notice, printed in the bottom-left margin. However, the copyright for the artwork was not renewed, as was required by American copyright law to extend/maintain protection for works published 1963 or earlier. In order to maintain copyright protection, the poster would have had to be renewed 28 years after publication, in either 1964 or 1965 (see the sections for "Artwork: Original registrations and renewals" and refer to the links to search the copyright catalogs for those years). Because it was not renewed, copyright lapsed at that time. Note that the photo is a distinct work from the film it represents and had to be renewed separately.
  • Canada: According to a copyright status determination made by the City of Vancouver Archives on July 18, 2018, the photo is in the public domain in Canada. Presumably, this is because the author/photographer is unknown, making this an anonymous work, and 50 years have passed since the end of the calendar year of its publication.

Licensing

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.
