 * No evidence that the author is unknown as stated in the copyright tag. Also unknown when or if the photograph was first published, which needs to be determined in order to find out what the copyright status is in the United States. Stefan2 (talk) 01:14, 15 January 2014 (UTC)


 * "No evidence that the author is unknown"? Then perhaps you'd care to explain just who the author is, seeing as you're magically privy to this information.  Note also that the identity of the author isn't even required, if the image is of such age as to not require it. The date of this is likely 1910 and obviously pre-1923 from the subject context.

 * I don't know who the author is, but there is also no evidence that the author is unknown in the legal meaning given in the template. The term "unknown" is defined in the CDPA as follows:

"For the purposes of this section the identity of any of the persons referred to in subsection (2)(a) to (d) shall be regarded as unknown if it is not possible for a person to ascertain his identity by reasonable inquiry; but if the identity of any such person is once known it shall not subsequently be regarded as unknown."


 * It looks as if this might be a scan of a book or something. If the author's name was given in that book, then it was possible to ascertain the author's identity "by reasonable enquiry" when the book was published. As an author can't become "unknown" after once having been "known", he would in that case still be "known". Therefore, we would at least need to find out whether the author's name is given in that book in order to have a valid claim that the author is unknown.
 * "Pre-1923" refers to the date of publication, but we don't know when the book or magazine or newspaper which contained this photograph was published, so we can't tell whether it was before 1923 or not. The year of publication would have to be identified in order to make any such claim. --Stefan2 (talk) 13:49, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
