It was probably never registered for copyright in the US but there is no indication that this is out of copyright in its country of origin Slovakia (70 years pma). De728631 (talk) 09:33, 17 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

File Mountain guides - High Tatry.jpg was scanned from books authors Houdek Ivan, Ivan Bohus: History of the High Tatras, p. 133, issued by the Sport and physical education Slovak publishing house in 1976

Yes but we need to know the original photographer to determine if this image is still copyrighted or not. Under Slovakian law, images remain copyrighted for 70 years after the death of the author. So can you please check if there is any credit for this specific image in the book? De728631 (talk) 15:39, 17 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]


This image is copyrighted not. Author is unknown. Is a reproduction of a picture is a museum Highs Tatras national park , Tatranska Lomnica, Slovakia and was used in the book authors Houdek Ivan, Ivan Bohus: History of the High Tatras, p. 133, issued by the Sport and physical education Slovak publishing house in 1976. It is also on the interet: http://www.obnova.sk/clanok/vysoke-tatry-si-pripomenu-140-rokov-uhorskeho-karpatskeho-spolku

I see. But even if the author was anonymous, the photo would have been protected for 70 years afters its creation, i.e until the end of 2002 (see {{Anonymous-EU}}). Unfortunately this made it unfree in 1996 and so it became copyrighted retroactively in the United States as part of the URAA agreements. So even when it is now in the public domain in the EU, we can't use it on Commons which requires free images under US law. De728631 (talk) 17:06, 20 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
