Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Louis Brandeis

Original - Louis Brandeis, United States Supreme Court justice.

Reason: One of the more important justices to sit on the United States Supreme Court. Justice Louis Brandeis authored the landmark Brandeis Brief. He was the first Jewish justice on the Supreme Court and was a leading American Zionist. Two institutions of higher learning have been named after him: the Louis D. Brandeis School of Law of the University of Louisville, and Brandeis University. A well-composed portrait carefully restored. After days of work solving more than the usual problems (there was chemical damage to the negative), I think it's safe to say Wikipedia now has the best portrait of Justice Brandeis available to the public.

Question is there any source that indicates its copyright status or date of first publication better than the "circa. 1916" on the image description page? Guest9999 (talk) 11:58, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
- The Library of Congress doesn't contest its copyright status. This was taken seven years before the 1923 cutoff for PD-US and during the interim he was appointed to the Supreme Court. Durova^Charge! 15:44, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
