File:Sampson (horse).jpg

This is a picture of Brooklyn Supreme, an American Belgian draft horse, not a Shire as Sampson is supposed to be. See https://horseyhooves.com/brooklyn-supreme-horse/ DuncanHill (talk) 23:53, 18 August 2023 (UTC)

• Comment It's worth noting that the picture has been renamed since the nomination, and it wasn't in use either when nominated. There isn't any evidence that it's out of copyright either, but I don't know how you deal with that on COmmons. DuncanHill (talk) 15:19, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
• BTW, great detective work by DuncanHill. The license is correct, to be eligible for a copyright in 1930, you had to register for a copyright, display the copyright symbol and the year on the image, then renew that copyright 28 years later. No image of this description appears in either the copyright registration database or the copyright renewal database. If you look through the databases they are mostly for books, magazines, and big city newspapers, and an occasional image. The expense of registration and renewal usually outweighed any potential future revenue. Even the Associated Press did not bother to register or renew their most iconic images. --RAN (talk) 15:52, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
