File:Photograph of Lord Milner in 1902.jpg

This file was initially tagged by JuTa as no permission (No permission since). Is Viscountess Milner actually the photographer? If she is, then we need to delete it and put it in Category:Undelete in 2029. If not, then we can assume that the photographer died before 1950 per {{PD-old-assumed}}.

• Actually, I just noticed: the filename has an inconsistent creation date (1902) from the description (1900). So which is it? -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 03:33, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
  • Probably typo. Assume good faith. Regards, Jeromi Mikhael ^(marhata) 09:32, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
    • Yes, but we need to know which one is correct, so we can determine when it is PD per our 120-year assumption. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 15:12, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

Thanks. So I see it is by "Duffus" and not Viscountess Milner. A quick Google search suggests that it refers to Category:Duffus Brothers. Although we don't know their death dates, the British Library has judged their works to be PD, so I think it is a reasonable to rely on their research.  Keep. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 19:12, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

The "nkcr" tag in the flickr page under your "has judged" link almost certainly is a general estimation about the 1893 book and the writer of its text, about whom little is known. The only thing documented there is the book, not the illustration. This suggests that the illustrations were probably not researched individually. Do not overestimate the researching zeal of library interns in this kind of situation. However, it is reasonable to apply PD-old-assumed, which was your initial suggestion. -- Asclepias (talk) 20:16, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

Kept: keeping as PD-old-assumed. --rubin16 (talk) 11:08, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
