[edit] Summary

This is a very well-known photograph of Robert E. Howard taken in 1934. According to his then-girlfriend Novalyne Price, he hated wearing a suit, tie, and hat, yet he went to a studio and had several photographs taken because she liked it when he dressed up. It's ironic that a photo he may have admired least has become the Definitive Image of the author.

This image is in the public domain, and may be found on countless Robert E. Howard websites, fan pages or book sleeves. It was taken in 1934 at the subject's paid request, and hence copyright belonged to the subject. The subject died on June 11, 1936, seventy-one years ago, which automatically puts it into the public domain in the many countries where copyright lasts until seventy years after the death of the author.

Also, its copyright was not renewed.

This work is in the public domain because it was published in the United States between 1923 and 1963, and its copyright was not renewed. It may not be in the public domain in countries that do not apply the rule of the shorter term for US works, such as Canada, China (not Macao or Taiwan), Germany, and Switzerland. See this page for further explanation.

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.
