The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:

This Slovene work is in the public domain in its source country and the United States because its copyright expired pursuant to the Yugoslav Copyright Act of 1978, which provided for copyright term of the life of the author plus 50 years, or 25 years since publication for photographs and works of applied art (details). This applies to works already in the public domain on or before 29 April 1995, when a new copyright act became valid, which is also before 1 January 1996, the URAA date. The work meets one of the following criteria: a) a work of known authorship whose author died before 1 January 1945 b) an anonymous work published before 1 January 1945 c) a photograph or a work of applied art published before 1 January 1970 Note that other works enter the public domain 70 years after the author's death or 70 years after publication if the work was published anonymously. If this is the case please use {{PD-old-70}}. Deutsch ∙ English ∙ 日本語 ∙ македонски ∙ slovenščina ∙ српски / srpski ∙ +/−

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.
