Licensing
[edit]The title page of The British Steam Railway Locomotive, 1825–1925 by Ernest L. Ahrons lists both a UK publisher and a US publisher; the book was therefore presumably published simultaneously in the UK and the US in 1927. No copyright notice is to be found anywhere in the book, neither for the book as a whole nor for any of the images in the book. The United States Copyright Office’s Public Copyright Catalog, which lists any new or renewed copyrights from 1978 to present, returns no results for the book’s title and four results for the book’s author’s last name, all four of which pertain to people different from the author. The author of the book died in 1926, the author of the image is unknown (see below). For the USA, the book and all its contents can thus be categorised as PD-US-no notice:

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. العربية ∙ беларуская (тарашкевіца) ∙ čeština ∙ Deutsch ∙ Ελληνικά ∙ English ∙ español ∙ français ∙ Bahasa Indonesia ∙ italiano ∙ 日本語 ∙ 한국어 ∙ македонски ∙ Nederlands ∙ português ∙ русский ∙ sicilianu ∙ slovenščina ∙ ไทย ∙ Tiếng Việt ∙ 中文(简体) ∙ 中文(繁體) ∙ +/− |
The image itself obviously is a derived work. It is a simple line drawing which must have been engraved after a primary work, either a photo or a technical drawing, with no deviation or individual artistic expression. Nowhere in the book are the authors of this or the other images in the book named. The image itself is inscribed “THE ENGINEER” and “SWAIN Sc.” This is highly likely to refer to The Engineer, a UK technical engineering journal, and to John Swain and Son, Ltd, an engraving company which was “founded in 1857, only a year after THE ENGINEER, [and which] has supplied blocks for [The Engineer’s] illustrations continuously from that date to the present time” (The Engineer, 1966 Jul-Dec / source). The author of the derived image is an unnamed and unknown engraver working for a large company, the author of the unknown primary image (which must have been created in the 1840s–50s) is completely unknown. For the UK, the image can thus be categorised as PD-UK-unknown:
Public domainPublic domainfalsefalse |
This UK artistic or literary work, of which the author is unknown and cannot be ascertained by reasonable enquiry, is in the public domain because it is one of the following:
This tag can be used only when the author cannot be ascertained by reasonable enquiry. If you wish to rely on it, please specify in the image description the research you have carried out to find who the author was. The above is all subject to any overriding publication right which may exist. In practice, publication right will often override the first of the bullet points listed. Unpublished anonymous paintings remain in copyright until at least 1 January 2040. This tag does not apply to engravings or musical works. More information |
I have determined the work’s public domain status and the appropriate licenses to the best of my abilities, but, being new at this and to be on the safe side, I (the uploader) have listed this page under PD files for review. --Alias Sobriquet (talk) 20:59, 21 January 2020 (UTC)
