Summary[edit]

Description
English: Postcard of Tom Carrick's 'Famous' or 'Popular' Pierrots, sometimes billed as the 'Original Scarborough and London Pierrots', of Scarborough, North Yorkshire, England. Pierrot troupes were introduced to Scarborough in the early 1890s, at which time Tom Carrick began his, initially named the White Musketeers, after he had performed with Sydney James's Strolling Players in the 1880s. Carrrick's Perriots, in white dress with red pompoms, competed with Will Catlin's Perriots for prime spots on Scarborough beach during the summer season. The reverse of the card advertises Carrick's Eleventh Annual Grand Farewell Concert at the Mechanics' Institute for 23 September 1905.

Licensing[edit]

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.


You must also include a United States public domain tag to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States. Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Jamaica has 95 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but it does implement the rule of the shorter term. Copyright may extend on works created by French who died for France in World War II (more information), Russians who served in the Eastern Front of World War II (known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia) and posthumously rehabilitated victims of Soviet repressions (more information).

The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
