Summary[edit]

Description
English: Keybook photo (marked "FS-21") of Frank Sinatra in Capitol Studios, circa October 1957. Issued by United Artists in 1959. Per ImmortalEphemera.com, "keybook photos" were a type of comparatively rare (and today highly collectible) film still: "These stills were used as the studio’s masters, and are found with holes punched at the top of vertical poses or the left side of horizontal poses where they were inserted into the book."
Date
English: A portion of this photo was previously published in an issue of DownBeat magazine dated November 28, 1957. This version was printed with the copyright notice "© 1959 United Artists Corporation".
Source
English: Scan via Heritage Auctions Lot #54146. Cropped by uploader.
Author
English: Published by United Artists. Photograph provided by Capitol Records, per a credit found in the 1959 edition of the International Celebrity Register at page 696. Photographer unknown.
Permission
(Reusing this file)
English: Copyright on the photograph expired because it was published in the US prior to 1964 and was not renewed within 28 years of publication with the U.S. Copyright Office. A roughly square-shaped portion of the photo entered the public domain after DownBeat failed to renew the copyright on its 1957-11-28 issue. The additional portions of the photograph seen here entered the public domain two years later. See the Copyright Catalog (1978 to present).

Licensing[edit]

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 because it was published in the United States between 1929 and 1963, and although there may or may not have been a copyright notice, the copyright was not renewed. For further explanation, see Commons:Hirtle chart and the copyright renewal logs. Note that it may still be copyrighted in jurisdictions that do not apply the rule of the shorter term for US works (depending on the date of the author's death), such as Canada (70 years p.m.a.), Mainland China (50 years p.m.a., not Hong Kong or Macao), Germany (70 years p.m.a.), Mexico (100 years p.m.a.), Switzerland (70 years p.m.a.), and other countries with individual treaties.

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.
