Summary

[edit]
Description Scanned cover of the dust jacket for the hardcover first edition of John Ashbery's 1956 poetry collection Some Trees.
Date
Source

This scan was sourced from a listing to sell the book at AbeBooks.com (direct link to jpg). I (the uploader) cropped the image and edited it slightly (some color correction to reduce noise from jpeg compression, to reduce the effects of fading/age, and to get the colors closer to the original).

In principle, the cover could be recreated as an svg file (by someone more talented than me).
Author Unknown authorUnknown author; uncredited designer/illustrator for publisher Yale University Press.
Permission
(Reusing this file)

No permission is required because the dust jacket was first published prior to 1978 without a valid copyright notice. Some Trees was first published in 1956. The hardcover book itself carried a copyright notice, and its contents remain copyrighted. However, the first-edition dust jacket did not carry a separate copyright notice. According to The Compendium of U.S. Copyright Office Practices: Chapter 2200, § 2207.1(C) at p. 15:

"A notice of copyright on the dust jacket of a book is not an acceptable notice for the book, because the dust jacket is not permanently attached to the book. Likewise, a notice appearing in a book is not an acceptable notice for the dust jacket or any material appearing on that dust jacket, even if the book refers to the jacket or material appearing on the jacket."
To verify the lack of a copyright notice, high-resolution photos of other parts of the same edition's dust jacket can be seen via another listing at AbeBooks (the front cover, back cover, and spine; the left and right flaps).

The scan and the book cover
This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published in the United States between 1929 and 1977, inclusive, without a copyright notice. For further explanation, see Commons:Hirtle chart as well as a detailed definition of "publication" for public art.
Note that it may still be copyrighted in jurisdictions that do not apply the rule of the shorter term for US works (depending on the date of the author's death), such as Canada (50 p.m.a.), Mainland China (50 p.m.a., not Hong Kong or Macao), Germany (70 p.m.a.), Mexico (100 p.m.a.), Switzerland (70 p.m.a.), and other countries with individual treaties.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
