Permission
(Reusing this file)

No permission is required for the following reasons:

  1. First, the image is a mechanical scan that does not constitute a work of original authorship in and of itself (i.e., it is a faithful reproduction of the cover itself without modification, rather than a creative photo of the book cover).
  2. Second, the image only contains information in the public domain: a public-domain illustration and a small amount of text. The minor alterations and text do not cross the threshold of originality and thus do not result in a separately copyrightable work.
  3. Any copyright for the typographical arrangement expired in 1993. Under UK law, typographical copyright subsists for 25 years after publication and would expire on 1 January of the 26th year. See Commons:Copyright rules by territory/United Kingdom#Typographical copyright.

Please note that, although this cover design is in the public domain, the contents of the book itself are copyrighted.

Licensing edit

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 ineligible for copyright and therefore in the public domain because it consists entirely of information that is common property and contains no original authorship.

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.
