A photograph depicting a person who died in 1926 is very unlikely to be a users work. Therefore missing original author and source. ChristophT 10:52, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
The entry is corrected to "public domain" - the picture out of any copyright today. The source is family heritage (Photograph belongs since 100 years to our family, we are direct descendants of the person). -- User:Sebastian_Claudius 28 January 2008
- Imho the correct source would be something like: Photograph in my possession or Photograph is part of my personal collection. Just make clear that the photograph is your or your family's property. Anyway, you still have to state the author of this photograph, because the physical ownership of the photograph doesn't give you the rights on it. The copyright still belongs to the photographer. In german law it expires 70 years after the death of the creator. As you can see, it is essential to know the author to verify that the photograph is in the public domain. --ChristophT 10:53, 29 January 2008 (UTC) PS: I just saw that you placed it under GFDL. You can't put an old photograph under GFDL unless you are the author and a public domain work (if it is one) can't be GFDL either. --ChristophT 11:03, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
