File:Roermond 1931.jpg

[edit]

Image lacks a proper source and is not in the public domain under the Commons:URAA. Sjoerd de Bruin (talk) 15:44, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It is a postcard in my collection and neither on the backside nor the frontside is there any information about the publisher or the photographer. There is a poststamp on the backside, so we know for the image must have taken at 1931 or earlier. It is to me unclear what the US rules are about unknown (orphan) works or pictures where the rigths have been bough by the postcard publisher. (The same principle as pictures without author names in newspapers)(in Europe it is mostly 70 years) In Europe many photografic archives/records where destroyed during the war years (or clearing up the old junk)
Ps: I Will Come back on the uraa and precautionary principle about old European postcards, later. (There are quite a lot of them) I need time to develop good arguments. Smiley.toerist (talk) 18:25, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This other copy was posted in 1929. Getting closer to U.S. public domain. The postcard might well have been published before 1929. At worst, if deleted, it would be undeleted in five months when the U.S. public domain gets upgraded to published before 1930. -- Asclepias (talk) 16:17, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The publisher is: J. Sleding, Amsterdam Smiley.toerist (talk) 15:06, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Of the publisher Category:J. Sleding, the Commons only have works from in and around Roermond. However there are also Amsterdam postcards from this publisher. see: https://www.lastdodo.nl/nl/areas/1092483-j-sleding-amsterdam. And from much earlier than mentioned in Creator:J. Sleding (1934), even 1908.Smiley.toerist (talk) 12:39, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
