@AngevinKnight: You add a {{PD-old-70}} template so please name the photographer and tell when he died. --Patrick Rogel (talk) 15:20, 29 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
 Info 1934 photograph by Bassano. Is {{PD-UK-unknown}} since NPG doesn't identify a known author. Abzeronow (talk) 18:46, 29 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Abzeronow: Hi. By which reasonable enquiry have you came to the conclusion that author cannot be ascertained? Specifically have you contacted the NPG to know why they still specify CC BY-NC-ND 3.0? Please detail in the image description the research you have carried out to find who the author was. Thanks, --Patrick Rogel (talk) 19:01, 29 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
For my part I only know it's not Alexander Bassano because he quited his company 30 years earlier. I'm still searching... --Patrick Rogel (talk) 19:03, 29 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Patrick see Commons:Deletion requests/File:Colin Gregory 1932.jpg. "Bassano Ltd. was a well-known photographic studio, established by Alexander Bassano, and npg.org.uk is one of the most accurate and detailed image databases I know - if they don't know the author, then it is not known (unless you have exclusive access to Bassano archives). " Generally it has been Commons precedent to treat Bassano Limited photographs from NPG as having unknown authors. Abzeronow (talk) 20:17, 29 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The Commons licence is specifically mentioned in the original NPG page: see this: https://www.npg.org.uk/collections/search/use-this-image.php?mkey=mw53053. So the picture can be freely used for non-commercial purposes --AngevinKnight (talk) 17:17, 9 March 2020 (UTC)AngevinKnght[reply]

@AngevinKnight: Once again CC BY-NC-ND 3.0 is not a valid license; it hasn't changed since the launch of this DR. But you haven't still responded to the second part of the rationale: "Please explain why public domain in UK". --Patrick Rogel (talk) 17:30, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@AngevinKnight: Pictures need to be avalaible for commercial purposes to be uploaded on commons. Your argument is a backfire.  Delete --QTHCCAN (talk) 20:56, 1 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
