Template:PD-old-assumed/doc
Please use {{PD-old-auto-expired}}, {{PD-old-auto-1996}}, or {{PD-old-auto}} in preference to this template if the date of death is known. Please use {{PD-old-70}} or {{PD-old-70-expired}} if the work was created by an unknown author more than 190 years ago (i.e. before 1834), as it is literally impossible for that author to have lived for another 120 years after creating the work. (The oldest verified human age in history is 120, for Jeanne Calment, and even she did not take photographs while a baby.)
