According to [1], published in newspapers across Canada and Britain.

Public domain
This Canadian work is in the public domain in Canada because its copyright has expired for one of the following reasons:
1. it was subject to Crown copyright and was first published more than 50 years ago, or

it was not subject to Crown copyright, and

2. it is a photograph that was created before January 1, 1949, or
3. the creator died more than 50 years ago.
Maple leaf
The media description page should identify which reason applies, and should also have a rationale explaining the copyright status of the work in the U.S. Some Canadian photographs created before 1949 may be copyrighted outside of Canada, such as e.g. the images of Yousuf Karsh.

First published outside the U.S. (in Canada, where its copyright had expired on December 31, 1983, i.e. before January 1, 1996). Thus likely to be in the public domain also in the U.S.

Public license

This image is in the public domain in the United States. In most cases, this means that it was first published in the United States prior to January 1, 1923 (see the talk page for more cases).

Copyright status in the European Union is unknown.
