Public domain
The copyright situation of this work is theoretically uncertain, because in the country of origen copyright lasts 70 years after the death of the author, and the date of the author's death is unknown. However, the date of creation of the work was over 120 years ago, and it is thus a reasonable assumption that the copyright has expired (see here for the community discussion). Do not use this template if the date of death of the author is known.
You must also include a United States public domain tag to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States.
This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

This template will categorize into Category:PD Old (assumed).

Warning signPlease use {{PD-old-auto-expired}}, {{PD-old-auto-1996}}, or {{PD-old-auto}} in preference to this template if the date of death is known. Please use {{PD-old-70}} or {{PD-old-70-expired}} if the work was created by an unknown author more than 190 years ago (i.e. before 1834), as it is literally impossible for that author to have lived for another 120 years after creating the work. (The oldest verified human age in history is 122, for Jeanne Calment, and even she did not take photographs while a baby.)
