Summary edit

Description
English: "This car had to be one of the most outstanding PCC cars in operation anywhere. Originally built by St. Louis Car Co. in 1945, the car saw several rebuildings and renumberings. In 1957 the car was revamped into a special car known as the "Silver Sightseer" for touring our Nation's Capitol. It even boasted a lovely hostess to narrate the trip. 1512 is shown here passing Union Station, Washington, D.C. August 28, 1960."

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.
