Cette œuvre est dans le domaine public car elle a été publiée aux États-Unis entre 1929 et 1977 inclus, sans indication de copyright. À moins que son auteur ne soit mort depuis suffisamment longtemps, elle n'est pas dans le domaine public dans les pays ou régions qui n'appliquent pas la règle du terme le plus court pour les travaux provenant des États-Unis, comme le Canada (cinquante ans pma), la Chine continentale (cinquante ans pma, Hong Kong et Macao exclus), l'Allemagne (soixante-dix ans pma), le Mexique (cent ans pma), la Suisse (soixante-dix ans pma) et d'autres pays signataires d'accord bilatéraux.

The photo was published simultaneously in many newspapers with no copyright notice at all (neither for the photo in particular, nor for the newspaper as a whole). For example:

• The Miami Herald
• The Tampa Times
• The Tennessean
• Corvallis Gazette-Times
• Democrat and Chronicle (Rochester, NY)
• Messenger-Inquirer (Owensboro, KY)
• The Vancouver Sun
• The Burlington Free Press

Copyright was therefore forfeited per section 9 of the Copyright Act of 1909, which required that notice of copyright be affixed to every published copy.

No instances were found of the photo published with its own copyright notice, indicating that the photo was distributed to newspapers without a copyright notice, and there is no evidence of any requirement imposed on newspapers by the Associated Press to publish the photo with copyright notice.

In addition, approval was received from the photographer (ticket:2012050410010422) to publish this photo under the CC-BY-SA 3.0 license. However, the photo was produced while the photographer was an employee of the Associated Press, so the photo is presumably a work for hire. Any copyright would therefore be owned by the Associated Press, and it is not clear that the photographer would have the authority to release it under a free license. This issue is moot because the photo is in the public domain, as explained above.
