Melvin Ormond Hammond, self-portrait ca. 1910.

Image source: Archives of Ontario.

This Canadian work is in the public domain in Canada because its copyright has expired for one of the following reasons: 1. it was subject to Crown copyright and was first published more than 50 years ago, or it was not subject to Crown copyright, and 2. it is a photograph that was created before January 1, 1949, or 3. the creator died more than 50 years ago. The media description page should identify which reason applies, and should also have a rationale explaining the copyright status of the work in the U.S. Some Canadian photographs created before 1949 may be copyrighted outside of Canada, e.g. the images of Yousuf Karsh.

This image is in the public domain in countries with a copyright term of life of the author plus 70 years or less. Note that the United States has other rules and it is necessary to establish that this image is also in the public domain in the United States or to provide a use rationale. See Template:PD-US.

I have removed a few speckles.

Note that the Archives of Ontario claim copyright. However, any Canadian image created before January 1, 1949 is in the public domain in Canada. M.O. Hammond died 1934, so the image is in the public domain in all countries having a "70 years p.m.a" rule. Even if the image was an unpublished image, it is also in the public domain in the U.S. (known author; died more than 70 years ago). Lupo 08:44, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
