Is this image in copyright?
Was the image taken before 1 January 1955?
- If yes, then copyright has expired
Was the image taken after 1 January 1955
- If yes, then the image is in copyright
If the image was taken after 1 January 1955, how long does it remain in copyright?
- If no photographer is attributed, the image will be in copyright for 70 years from the date it was created
