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 .

A definitive date is not available for this photograph but, when compared to a photograph taken of Sasaki in 1950 ( File:Gauthier-Takahashi-Sasaki-1950.png ), it is clear that it was taken before 1949 and is therefore public domain. Based on his appearance, this photo was taken when Sasaki was in his late 20s, so approximately 1930.
