Copyright/Licence: This work is a photograph that was created on or before December 31, 1948. Before 1999, section 10 of the Copyright Act stated that:

The term for which copyright shall subsist in photographs shall be the remainder of the calendar year of the making of

the initial negative or other plate from which the photograph was directly or indirectly derived, or
the initial photograph, where there was no negative or other plate,
and a period of fifty years following the end of that calendar year.

Therefore, this work would have been in the public domain in Canada as of January 1, 1999. While amendments to the Copyright Act modifying the duration of copyright in photographs came into effect on January 1, 1999, they applied only to works that were not already in the public domain (see sections 54 and 58 of Bill C-32). Therefore, this work is in the public domain in Canada. See disclaimers.
