The two-dimensional work of art depicted in this image is in the public domain worldwide due to the date of death of its author (if it is was published outside of the U.S. and the author has been dead for over 70 years), or due to its date of publication (if it was first made public in the U.S. before 1923). Therefore this photographical reproduction is also in the public domain, at least in the United States (see Bridgeman Art Library v. Corel Corp.), in Germany, and in many other countries.

Please note that this poster was not used during the 1928 Olympics. The IOC never succeeded in getting the copyrights of the original poster. The IOC therefore used a different poster - effectively rewriting history just to avoid the hassle of copyright payments to the artist's heirs. The artist, Jos. Rovers of the Netherlands, died in 1976 so we may have to wait until 2051 before the IOC will show us the real poster... Also, the text "Olympische Spiele" is not Dutch but German - this image was taken from a cover originally designed for a German book (source: NRC Handelsblad, 30 July 1996).
