[edit] Summary

Abraham Ulrikab (d. 1881) and his family were Inuit transported to Germany in 1880. See en:Abraham Ulrikab. This photo was downloaded from the Nunatsiaq News website on 2006-10-07.

The photo is credited "PHOTO COURTESY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF OTTAWA PRESS". However, as Ulrikab died in 1881, this photo cannot be less than 125 years old. It is impossible for this work to be under copyright in Canada and in Germany - the only two countries where it could have been taken and both nations with 50 year terms for copyright in photographs. Consequently, any reproduction of this photo is in the public domain under the laws of all nations practicing copyright reciprocity, including the United States - where all foreign works that were in the public domain in their own countries in 1996 are presently in the public domain - and the European Union, where all members consider foreign works out of copyright in their native territory to be in the public domain.

Original label: The Ulrikab family: with Ulrike, nephew Tobias, and Abraham. Ulrike holds baby Maria while four-year-old Sara stands.

[edit] Licensing

Public domain This image (or other media file) is in the public domain because its copyright has expired.

This applies to the United States, Canada, the European Union and those countries with a copyright term of life of the author plus 70 years.


Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Côte d'Ivoire has a general copyright term of 99 years and Honduras has 75 years, but they do implement that rule of the shorter term.
