Licensing edit

First, let's unpick Cundall, Downes & Co. This is:

And if it's the & Co, then it's {{PD-UK-unknown}}, but we can probably ignore that. The last of those two to die is Cundall, so using his deathyear:

Public domain

The author died in 1895, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

Notes edit

  1. ↑ The Digital Commonwealth gives 1859-1870; the (U.K.) National Portrait Gallery gives 1860-1865, however, the copy at the Boston Public Library has the back included, which, while heavily damaged, includes the address "10 Bedford Place". Per the Royal Academy, Cundall, Downes & Co. were there from 1863-64. Also, by 1866 they were known as Cundall & Fleming so that's something. [1] specifically dates it as an 1864 photo, which, given I had narrowed it to 1863-4 already, I'm happy to buy.
