Passport document for Ginevra King Mitchell and William H. Mitchell, 1918

Summary[edit]

Description
English: A 1918 passport document with stamped photographs of newlyweds Ginevra King Mitchell and William "Bill" Mitchell. Ginevra King inspired the character of Daisy Buchanan in F. Scott Fitzgerald's 1925 novel The Great Gatsby. Genevra's husband, Bill Mitchell, inspired the character of Tom Buchanan in the same novel. An avid polo player and sportsman, Bill Mitchell became the director of Texaco, one of the largest and most successful oil companies of the era. Bill's brother, banker Jack Mitchell, co-founded United Airlines and married the only daughter of magnate J. Ogden Armour, the second-richest man in the United States after John D. Rockefeller.

As U.S. passports and their associated photographs are the property of the United States government, this image resides in the public domain. Wikimedia Commons only allows the uploader to select a single copyright license for a file, but there are two elements to consider when determining the copyright status of any U.S. government passport document:

  1. the government document itself,
  2. the image supplied by the applicant
For the first element, the government document falls under PD-USGov. For the second element, the copyright holders distributed a discernible copy of the original photographs to someone other than the photographer. Whenever you apply for a passport, you must submit two copies: one is attached to the application, and the other is attached to the passport that is returned to you. For copyright purposes, publication is deemed to be the distribution of a discernible copy — not just appearing in a book or magazine. For example, the bulk of celebrity photos are copies sent to news outlets in the hope they would put the images in their magazines and newspapers, but they may never have appeared. Nevertheless, such images are still legally regarded as published because copies were distributed for that purpose. For these reasons, both the government document itself and the image supplied by the applicants fall into the public domain.
