This image is asserted to be GFDL. As a Crown Copyright work published in 1909 the book is in the public domain. The scan appears to be a mechanical conversion of a public domain work, a process which is not sufficient to create a new copyright under US law because it lacks creative input.

Choice of cropping range.

Editing and movement of scale to new location.
Background editing to smooth color transitions.
Compass rose scaling, choice and repositioning..
Choice of color correction to remove effect of aging on the original scan.
Choice of operations to reduce color depth.
Selecton of tools and techniques to maximally compress the final PNG image.
