Hum. "Gallery of History" is a Las Vegas based auction house for memorabilia and especially autographed photographs. They also have a online sale site at www.historyforsale.com. This image comes from a closed auction, and of course they do make a (very likely spurious) copyright claim. Lupo 10:33, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Probably yes, although it's a 1927 image. However, it would be good to know whether it was published or not. If so, was the coypright ever registered or renewed? If not, who was Ed N. Jackson (the photographer), and when did he die? Lupo 10:33, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

This photograph was created before 1929, but it has not been determined when it was first published. If it was published before 1929, it is in the public domain in the United States. It may be in the public domain if it was first published after 1929, depending on the circumstances. More research is needed to definitely determine its copyright status. When adequate publication information is provided, please replace this notice with a correct copyright tag.
