Why should this image be in the pd? Not even the author is given... --Chaddy (talk) 18:38, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
- It may fall in a certain time-frame when works are considered PD. The original author is probably lost to time, and is simply today an anonymous photographer. I suggest retaining the image on an historical basis. Kathyrncelestewright (talk) 01:55, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
- Delete. Say the picture was taken in the 1910s (the Dying Swan was created in 1905); if the photographer lived for 40 years after that, he died in the 1950s and his work is protected until the 2020s. The picture could fall under {{PD-RusEmpire}}, but we have no proof of that since Pavlova performed in many countries and was pictured by non-Russian photographers (see here a German postcard, also on Pavlova as the Dying Swan).

- Keep This image is in use on a lot of merchandise; are their images from here? Anyway, Time Life has this mounted original postcard portrait which they do not know anything about. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 16:44, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
Kept - certainly pre-1923, possibly {{PD-RusEmpire}}, license changed to {{PD-anon-70}} (non-admin closure). //Pieter Kuiper (talk) 19:21, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
