Appears to be unfree: fails PD-Russia-2008, as we do not know the author, and it is unclear if this is from a film (it appears to be a picture). Magog the Ogre (talk) 06:32, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, this is a 1936 photograph taken by an anonymous photographer. This is exactly PD-Russia-2008 requirement Alex Bakharev (talk) 07:46, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
 * For an anonymous work in the EU, I know that "every effort must be shown that the original author of the work was not credited". In this case, I think we just don't know who it is because our source is insufficient. Magog the Ogre (talk) 07:50, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Retagged, OK for en.wikipedia. Magog the Ogre (talk) 03:01, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. This is a case where (a) the sourcing is really weak, (b) it is extremely likely that the image is PD, (c) this can't be conclusively shown, and (d) if the image were copyrighted, the value of copyright to the holder would be negligible. In these cases, I recommend we tag these as valid PD images. – Quadell (talk) 00:20, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Even if this picture were taken in the interwar period (1919-39), this photo would likely not be in the public domain in the EU. Magog the Ogre (talk) 07:48, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
 * This picture was not taken in the interwar period, but in the 19th century!!! It has been exposed in a museum around 1860. Kenshin (talk) 11:55, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Clothing and long-stemmed pipe indicate that the image pre-dates the First World War, nor does it appear to have been modified. RashersTierney (talk) 12:41, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Actually, these are advantages for non-free works under the fair use guidelines. I do think it is very unlikely that the uploader "created this work entirely by [him]self" though - the true copyright status should be ascertained before it can be retained.

Source for this image is http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/JFKchapin.jpg which has nothing to do with the Executive Office of the President of the United States. There is no indication that this photo was taken by a member of the White House staff. No hits on a tineye search. Captain-tucker (talk) 19:15, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
