Image:Charles Darwin 1881.jpg

[edit] Summary

Picture of Charles Darwin in 1881, from The Illustrated Origin of Species by Charles Darwin, abridged and illustrated by Richard Leakey ISBN 0-571-14586-8. Originally published by BCA books (UK) in 1979 and by Hill & Wang (US), also in 1979.

This is a black-and-white (and cropped) reproduction of John Collier's (1859 - 1934) portrait of Charles Darwin. This painting is PD in the UK, but the color photograph at the UK National Portrait Gallery may not be (see COM:ART).

The painting is PD in the U.S. as it was published in 1900 in P. Chalmers Mitchell, Thomas Henry Huxley – A sketch of his life and work, p. 146; The Knickerbocker Press, New York; © 1900 G. P. Putnam's Sons. That black-and-white photograph also is PD in the U.S.

The copyright status of this black-and-white reproduction is unclear. It is certainly in the public domain in the U.S., but if it is a new British photo, it might be copyrighted in the UK.

[edit] Licensing

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of an original two-dimensional work of art. The original image comprising the work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason: 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. العربية | Asturianu | Български | Català | Česky | Dansk | Deutsch | English | Ελληνικά | Esperanto | Español | Euskara | فارسی | Français | Gaeilge | Galego | עברית | हिन्दी | Bahasa Indonesia | Italiano | 日本語 | 한국어 | Kurdî / كوردی | Lietuvių | Magyar | Nederlands | ‪Norsk (nynorsk)‬ | Bahasa Melayu | Polski | Português | Română | Русский | Slovenčina | Slovenščina | Shqip | Suomi | Sámegiella | Türkçe | ‪中文(简体)‬ | ‪中文(繁體)‬ | 粵語 | +/- Under United States copyright law, originality of expression is necessary for copyright protection, and a mere photograph of an out-of-copyright work may not be protected under U.S.copyright law. This photograph was taken in the U.S. or in another country where a similar rule applies (for a list of allowable countries, see Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag#Country-specific rules). This photographic reproduction is therefore also in the public domain. العربية | Česky | Deutsch | English | Ελληνικά | Español | فارسی | Français | עברית | Bahasa Indonesia | Italiano | 日本語 | 한국어 | Magyar | Nederlands | Polski | Português | Română | Русский | Slovenščina | Српски / Srpski | Basa Sunda | Türkçe | Українська | ‪中文(繁體)‬ | ‪中文(简体)‬ | +/-
