Not sure about copyright status of this image. The creator died 1967, Aus PD for an artwork requires creator died before 1955. It might be that this is being claimed as PD under one of the other Aus PD categories but if so I'm not sure which. If the image is Commonwealth or State owned then the image page should say so; does the fact that the image is held by a State Library prove that the copyright is held by them too? (I don't think that should be taken for granted.) I don't think "published editions" covers an artwork like this (it isn't e.g. typesetting that is the claim of the copyright). Unfortunately the link to the State Library is dead, which doesn't help. TheGrappler (talk) 13:18, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with that analysis. Under Australian copyright law, this qualifies as an "artistic work". It is still under copyright both in Australia and in the U.S. Hesperian 23:39, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
P.S. I have fixed the source link. Hesperian 23:39, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Delete this link is to the info at State library of south Australia there is a link to copyright on that page but it leaves the SLSA page and goes to SA.gov page, there it offers up two option one says Copyright material that is not owned by the Government of South Australia is clearly identified further on down the page it says Unless otherwise stated, the copyright in all images and graphics on this website is owned by a third party. then at the bottom of the page is a CC-by-SA 2.5(au) license but that most likely applies to the information on the page rather than the image, so thats now clear as mud. Then view the image try this link it says no publication in any form without permission: contact the SLSA there is no clear assertion of SLSA ownership as such theres insufficient information to claim PD as per pt E on the license. With the lack of information we can only presume that pt C applies which is death of author was pre 1955. Gnangarra 01:59, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
