Unfortunately there's no FOP in Ukraine and this plaque was created in 1996. So the image should be deleted as COPYVIO unless someone can provide evidence to the contrary. Adamant1 (talk) 20:19, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

•  Keep. Faithful representation of a photograph from the late 1800s. The text on the sign looks like basic biographical data and is not copyrightable. IronGargoyle (talk) 02:49, 16 October 2024 (UTC)

At least IMO it looks like a drawing and I certainly couldn't find an original photograph that it might have been based on when I looked for one. If your going to claim it is a faithful representation of a photograph then it would be good if there was a source for the original. Otherwise it just seems like speculation. Although on your end of this he did die in 1903. Which would put him a year before the date for unpublished anonymous and pseudonymous works, and works made for hire in Commons:Hirtle chart. But then it's dependent on this being an unpublished anonymous and pseudonymous work created before 1904 to begin with. Which there's really no way to know without the original. It's just as likely someone created it after his death. But it doesn't look like a photograph regardless. Probably it doesn't really matter either though. No one is going to sue anyone over a 100 year old drawing. --Adamant1 (talk) 04:16, 16 October 2024 (UTC)

It is a photograph. Here is a colorized version which derives from same original. Given his age of death, the photograph is pretty clearly {{PD-old-assumed}}. IronGargoyle (talk) 15:14, 16 October 2024 (UTC)

Cool. Thanks for finding the photograph. I'll have to add it as another version of the image when I have the time. I'm totally fine with it being keept now that you've provided the original. --Adamant1 (talk) 23:21, 16 October 2024 (UTC)
