The image is still copyrighted in the source country, the UK, because the photographer, Walter Stoneman, died in 1958, which is less than 70 years ago. Rrburke (talk) 16:37, 27 December 2018 (UTC)
Comment. On further review, Walter Stoneman's photographs were commissioned by the National Portrait Gallery for their National Photographic Record project.[1] As the gallery is a non-departmental public body of the UK government, the works are probably subject to Crown copyright, meaning that their UK copyrights expired 50 years after their creation. In that case, the photographs are all out of copyright in the UK. Additionally, since their copyrights had expired as of the URAA date of January 1, 1996, they are in the public domain in the United States as well. I think the files should be kept. Nevertheless I think the deletion discussion should proceed in case others have more to add. --Rrburke (talk) 13:17, 28 December 2018 (UTC)

Keep (as nominator): subject to Crown copyright, so out of copyright in the UK; all copyrights had expired as of the URAA date, so PD in the US as well. --Rrburke (talk) 13:17, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
- Comment: I've updated the copyright tag accordingly. However I would note that NDPBs like the NPG are not part of the Crown; indeed, the Museums and Galleries Act 1992 explicitly states that it's not part of the Crown. I suspect, though, that before 1992 the NPG was part of the Crown, so Crown Copyright might plausibly have applied in this case. --bjh21 (talk) 18:07, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
Kept: looks OK now. --JuTa 17:39, 5 June 2019 (UTC)
