The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain
The copyright situation of this work is theoretically uncertain, because in the country of origin copyright lasts70 yearsafter the death of the author, and the date of the author's death is unknown. However, the date of creation of the work was over120 years ago,and it is thus a reasonable assumption that the copyright has expired (seeherefor the community discussion). Do not use this template if the date of death of the author is known.
You must also include aUnited States public domain tagto indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States.
Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Jamaica has 95 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image maynotbe in the public domain in these countries, which moreover donotimplement therule of the shorter term.Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but itdoesimplement the rule of the shorter term. Copyright may extend on works created by French who died for France inWorld War II(more information), Russians who served inthe Eastern Front of World War II(known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia) and posthumouslyrehabilitatedvictims of Soviet repressions (more information).
This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

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, seeCommons: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. SeeCommons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
