Source: I, Peter the Great, proclaim that I am the colorizer of this photograph and am in possession of a complete set of working files that prove my proclamation. I hereby release all 306 x 458 or smaller versions to the public domain. The original photograph that I degrained and colorized was a public domain photo taken from C.

[edit] Licensing

Original grainy, black and white photograph:

Public domain This image is in the public domain because the Danish Consolidated Act on Copyright of 2003 specifies (§70, 2) that all photographic images not considered to be "works of art" become public domain 50 years after they were created.

According to the transitional regulations of 1995, photographic images without artistic merit are exempt from copyright protection provided that they were created before 1 January 1970 (§91, 5).

Note that "photographic works", which must display artistic merit or originality, enter the public domain 70 years after the death of the photographer. See Licensing for details.

Some countries, such as Germany, do not apply a shorter term for simple works, so this image may not be usable in such countries.
To uploader: Please provide where the image was first published and who created it.


Version cleaned up and colorized for clarity:

Public domain I, the copyright holder of this work, hereby release it into the public domain. This applies worldwide.
