To use this template, the image must meet both of the following two conditions:
-
published over 70 years ago, and
-
the original author's actual identity was not publicly disclosed in connection with this image within 70 years following its publication.
Images that lack either of these two conditions should not use this template.
Reasonable
evidence
must be presented that the author's name (e.g., the original photographer, portrait painter) was not published with a claim of copyright in conjunction with the image within 70 years of its original publication. Works which had not entered Public Domain in their country in 1996
that were uploaded before 1 March 2012
should be marked additionally with
{{Not-PD-US-URAA}}
.
Note:
In some countries anonymous works are copyrighted until 70 years after the death of the author if the author's identity became public
in any way
during the original term. In Germany this applies to certain works published before July 1, 1995; see
Übergangsrecht
.
