Description
English: Canadian Railway Construction in France by British artist Leonard Richmond (1878-1965) depicts the construction of the deepest railway cut in France by the Canadian Overseas Railway Construction Corps. Railway construction during the First World War frequently took place under difficult conditions, often near the front lines. While the location of this scene was some distance behind the front lines, the soft soil of the area created many engineering problems. Leonard Richmond, born in Somerset, England, was an established landscape artist and poster painter. He came to the attention of the Canadian War Memorials Fund through his contributions to Canadian War Record Office publications.

Public domain

The author died in 1965, 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 50 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.

The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
