Published (in black and white) in "Uttenreitter, Poul (1930). Guðmundur Thorsteinsson. København, Henrik Koppels Forlag." work 41. The book has no copyright notice. This may or may not have been the first publication.

Morgunblaðið, November 6, 1958, reports that the artwork was about to be published separately, surely in colour. Perhaps that was the first publication in colour. Morgunblaðið itself also publishes the work in that issue (in black and white).[1]

Note that even photographs which are not artworks have a copyright protection of 50 years from creation in Iceland. Thus it is not clear that this image is in the public domain in Iceland.

This image is in the public domain in the United States because

it was first published outside the United States and
US copyright formalities were not complied with and
it was in the public domain in its home country on January 1, 1996.

The two-dimensional work of art depicted in this image is in the public domain in the United States and in those countries with copyright terms of life of the author plus 70 years or less. Under American copyright law, originality of expression is necessary for copyright protection, and a mere photograph of an out-of-copyright work may not be protected under American copyright law.
