Josiah Willard Gibbs (11 February 1839 - 28 April 1903), an American physical chemist.

This file was taken from w:en:Image:Willard Gibbs.jpg, which was given by w:en:User:Reddi at the time of 06:43, 29 Aug 2004. The image seems a copy of the widely circulated portrait of the physical chemist.

In the English Wikipedia, the image is described as "19th century photograph. public domain" with the copyright tag {{PD-old}} (the English Wikipedia version), which calls a statement that this image is in the public domain because its copyright has expired in the United States and those countries with a copyright term of life of the author plus 100 years.

User:YebisYa, who uploaded the file to Commons, has not specified who took the photo, and when and where it was published, but believes that it was anyway taken and published somewhere in the USA on or before 1903, and qualifies at least for the copyright tag {{PD-Art}} (Commons version).

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of an original two-dimensional work of art. The original image comprising the work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason: This image (or other media file) is in the public domain because its copyright has expired. This applies to the United States, Canada, the European Union and those countries with a copyright term of life of the author plus 70 years. Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Côte d'Ivoire has a general copyright term of 99 years and Honduras has 75 years, but they do implement that rule of the shorter term. العربية | Asturianu | Български | Català | Česky | Dansk | Deutsch | English | Ελληνικά | Esperanto | Español | Euskara | فارسی | Français | Gaeilge | Galego | עברית | हिन्दी | Bahasa Indonesia | Italiano | 日本語 | 한국어 | Kurdî / كوردی | Lietuvių | Magyar | Nederlands | ‪Norsk (nynorsk)‬ | Bahasa Melayu | Polski | Português | Română | Русский | Slovenčina | Slovenščina | Shqip | Suomi | Sámegiella | Türkçe | ‪中文(简体)‬ | ‪中文(繁體)‬ | 粵語 | +/- Under United States 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 U.S.copyright law.
