Summary edit

Description
English: Second in a set of three photo portraits of American author Cormac McCarthy printed in the Kentucky newspaper the Lexington Herald-Leader on March 2, 1975. He is pictured here visiting the home of his friends Frank C. and Carolyn Hare in Lexington. McCarthy had been spending time in the American southwest since January 1974 to conduct background research for his Western novel that would eventually be published as Blood Meridian (1985), and he stopped to visit the Hares en route to New York to meet with his editor, Albert Erskine of Random House, regarding the progress of editing his novel Suttree (1979), which was as-yet untitled and which he expected to have completed and published within a year. The photo was captioned with the following quote from McCarthy:

'Nothing leaves the shop unless it's the best I can do.'

English: According to the McCarthy scholars Dianne C. Luce and Zachary Turpin, the original article was published in the United States "prior to 1978, ... without any visible or registered copyright notice," and is "therefore in the public domain." The lack of visible copyright notice on the March 2, 1975 issue of the Lexington Herald-Leader can be confirmed by inspecting the scan available via Newspapers.com (see link above). See Luce & Turpin 2022, p. 132 (fn. 1).

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:
This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published in the United States between 1929 and 1977, inclusive, without a copyright notice.

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.
