Permission
( Reusing this file )

I'm not quite sure which of two situations applies, but both result in this image being out of copyright by 1966.

This was created by the Parliamentary Recruiting Committee, which implies this came under crown copyright, which would have expired on January 1, 1966.

Public domain
This work created by the United Kingdom Government is in the public domain .

This is because it is one of the following :

  1. It is a photograph taken prior to 1 June 1957; or
  2. It was published prior to 1974; or
  3. It is an artistic work other than a photograph or engraving (e.g. a painting) which was created prior to 1974.

HMSO has declared that the expiry of Crown Copyrights applies worldwide (ref: HMSO Email Reply )

However, if it didn't, since the artist is unknown - neither the Library of Congress nor the Imperial War Museum have been able to identify the artist - because of that, even if it doesn't come under Crown Copyright, it's out of copyright due to:


Public domain logo
This UK artistic or literary work, of which the author is unknown and cannot be ascertained by reasonable enquiry, is in the public domain because it is one of the following:
  • A photograph, which has never previously been made available to the public (e.g. by publication or display at an exhibition) and which was taken more than 70 years ago (before 1 January 1954); or
  • A photograph, which was made available to the public (e.g. by publication or display at an exhibition) more than 70 years ago (before 1 January 1954); or
  • An artistic work other than a photograph (e.g. a painting), or a literary work, which was made available to the public (e.g. by publication or display at an exhibition) more than 70 years ago (before 1 January 1954).

Warning sign This tag can be used only when the author cannot be ascertained by reasonable enquiry. If you wish to rely on it, please specify in the image description the research you have carried out to find who the author was. The above is all subject to any overriding publication right which may exist. In practice, publication right will often override the first of the bullet points listed.

Unpublished anonymous paintings remain in copyright until at least 1 January 2040. This tag does not apply to engravings or musical works. More information

Britain had a 50-year copyright until 1996, so, under this situation, this would still have gone out of copyright on January 1, 1966. So, either way, it's out of copyright.

The American situation is simple: This was published before 1923, so...

Public domain
This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office ) before January 1, 1929.
