Mary Dignam (1860–1938). It is presumed that this picture was taken and published before 1923 (when she would have been 63 years old) and is therefore ineligible under US copyright law. It certainly falls under the public domain in Canada.

[edit] Licensing

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 the United States. In most cases, this means that it was first published prior to January 1, 1923 (see the template documentation for more cases). Other jurisdictions may have other rules, and this image might not be in the public domain outside the United States. See Wikipedia:Public domain and Wikipedia:Copyrights for more details.
