The photo was published simultaneously in many newspapers, some of which had no copyright notice at all (neither for the photo in particular, nor for the newspaper as a whole). For example:

Copyright was therefore forfeited per section 9 of the Copyright Act of 1909, which required that notice of copyright be affixed to every published copy.

The "source country" is the "country which has the most significant contacts with the work". [1] Because the photograph was taken by a US photographer and first published in the United States, the United States is the source country.
