Usage

{{PD-old-70}}

This template is NOT redundant to {{PD-old}} and should not be redirected to or from it. PD-old is a generic template. It is for old works where US and European Union copyright expired while it was meant for worldwide public domain after more than 100 years after authors' deaths. This PD-old-70 specifically gives the reason why the image is PD but even works published from 1929 to 1977 are copyrighted in the USA for up to 95 years since publication rather than life + 70 years.

The template takes no parameters.
