Summary[edit]

Description Studio photograph of American poet Ezra Pound (1885–1972) in May 1898 with his mother, Isabel Weston Pound (1860–1948). The image shows the letters C.M.A. on the neck of his uniform, Cheltenham Military Academy, Cheltenham Township, Pennsylvania, which Pound attended from 1897 to 1900.
Date
Source Harry Ransom Center, University of Texas at Austin. According to the center, on the back of the image it says, in ink, "May 3, 1898". In pencil, in different handwriting, it says below the date: "EP & Mother". In the bottom left corner, also in pencil, it says: "MSpann". "EP & Mother" and "MSpann" appear to be in the same handwriting. MSpann is Marcella Spann Booth, a friend of Pound's from the 1950s. The center acquired the image from her in 2008. See the news release about the acquisition.
Author Unknown; copyright probably held by the studio, which is also unknown.
Permission
(Reusing this file)		 Earliest known publication was on 29 September 1985, when it appeared in an Associated Press story about Pound's house in Hailey. The photograph is probably displayed in the house, which is a museum. It was published that day by several newspapers, including the Victoria Advocate, p. 3, and the Reading Eagle, p. E-18. The Associated Press did not credit the photograph to anyone. It is therefore assumed to have been published without the copyright holder's permission.
This work was never published prior to January 1, 2003, and is currently in the public domain in the United States because it meets one of the following conditions:
  • its author died before 1954;
  • the death date of its author is not known, and it was created before 1904;
  • it is an anonymous work, a pseudonymous work, or a work made for hire, and it was created before 1904.

The above provisions are contained in 17 U.S.C. § 303. See also this page for more information.
