The immediate source of this image as uploaded to the Wikimedia Commons is http://www.artpassions.net/cgi-bin/rackham.pl?../galleries/rackham/ring/ring60.jpg Originally the image stems from either Richard Wagner's The Rhinegold and the Valkyrie, published in 1910 in London (William Heinemann) and New York (Doubleday, Page) or the same author's Siegfried and the Twilight of the Gods, published in the same way in 1911. Having been published in the United States prior to January 1, 1923, the image is in the public domain in that country. It is also in the public domain in countries with copyright terms of 50 years after death of author. Under current law the image will enter the public domain in the European Union on January 1, 2010.
