Description"The Hollywood Story" by Adela Rogers St Johns (Dec 24, 1950) - The American Weekly.jpg
English: Illustration of actor Lon Chaney by William Rose for "The Hollywood Story" by Adela Rogers St. Johns in the The American Weekly. The caption reads: "For the Movies He Created the Art of Make-Up, Each Character as Finely Drawn as an Artist Paints a Canvas."
English: The illustration entered the public domain because it was published in the United States prior to 1964 and copyright was not renewed on either the illustration, the story it accompanied, or the issue as a whole. According to the Library at UPenn's "Determining Copyright Status of Serial Issues" guide, only individual contributions from The American Weekly were renewed, not entire issues. "The Hollywood Story" was not renewed; see the Copyright Catalog (1978 to present).
Licensing
This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Note that it may still be copyrighted in jurisdictions that do not apply the rule of the shorter term for US works (depending on the date of the author's death), such as Canada (70 years p.m.a.), Mainland China (50 years p.m.a., not Hong Kong or Macao), Germany (70 years p.m.a.), Mexico (100 years p.m.a.), Switzerland (70 years p.m.a.), and other countries with individual treaties.
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.
Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
