Summary edit

Description

POLAR BEAR AND CUBS. - This presents a scene at sunrise in the frozen regions of the north. The mother Polar Bear and her Cubs are on ;
great ice floe, above which the Sea Gulls hover, envious of the ursine family, which have secured a Seal for breakfast. The mother has begun her
meal: the little ones are not yet accustomed to a meat diet, but are about to try it. The picture well brings out the physical characteristics of the an
particularly the shaggy fur covering the body and legs, as well as the powerful paws of the larger animal. (Ursus maritimus.)

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:
Public domain

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 70 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.

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.
