Authord died 1989 [[1]], wrong licence, no permission from the heirs, also needed for the .jpg - version. AtelierMonpli (talk) 11:59, 13 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The Harmon Foundation collection was compiled 1922-1967. Since this is an etching, it can be presumed to have been published before the end of that period. Thus it appears to be PD-US-no notice. Two issues still need clarification: was there a notice on the back and was it first published in Nigeria, US, or elsewhere? Although NARA denies knowledge of copyright status for the Harmon collection as a whole, this piece is marked unrestricted on its individual record. I would take that as presumptive evidence that there is no copyright notice. Dankarl (talk) 18:20, 13 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
