Permission
(Reusing this image)

Assumed to be in Public domain due to its age.

Ben-Yehuda lived in Palestine which became UK territory in 1920 and Commons:Licensing says for UK: "If the work is a photograph with an unknown author taken before 1 June 1957 then copyright expires 70 years after creation or if during that period the work is made available to the public 70 years after that."

Before 1920, Palestine belonged to the Ottoman Empire, but commons has no information on the legislation of the Ottoman Empire nor that of Turkey.

[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.
