Notes
InfoField
English: Back up record. The authenticity of the world's record catch of black sea bass made one week ago by Dr. L. M. Taylor of Washington, D.C., and Herbert St. A. Earlscliffe of Santa Barbara, a picture of which appeared in Saturday's Herald, has been the cause of much comment and criticism by fishermen throughout the state. So, on the supposition that seeing is believing, Dr. Taylor recently gave an order to Charles F. Ironmonger, a local photographer, to make the biggest enlargement possible of the original photograph of the catch, and Ironmonger has just completed the job, which is said by critics to be a masterpiece of the photographer's skill. The finished picture measures twenty-four by thirty-six inches, and in it can be plainly seen every line and mark on the carcass of the fish, while the likeness of Earlscliffe and Taylor are, according to their own statements, better than the originals. Now, if there happens to remain a 'doubting Thomas,' or a hundred of them for that matter, they are respectfully invited to step up and look at the picture, which will in a few days have a sworn statement signed by a notary attached. Los Angeles Herald, August 9, 1904

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 in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.
Public domain works must be out of copyright in both the United States and in the source country of the work in order to be hosted on the Commons. If the work is not a U.S. work, the file must have an additional copyright tag indicating the copyright status in the source country.
Note: This tag should not be used for sound recordings.PD-1923Public domain in the United States//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:World%27s_Record_Catch_of_Sea_Bass,_Santa_Catalina,_Calif_(NYPL_b12647398-67751).tiff

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.
