Public domain
This work is based on a work in the public domain. It has been digitally enhanced and/or modified. This derivative work has been (or is hereby) released into the public domain by its author, Morgan Riley. This applies worldwide.

In some countries this may not be legally possible; if so:

Morgan Riley grants anyone the right to use this work for any purpose, without any conditions, unless such conditions are required by law.
This is a retouched picture, which means that it has been digitally altered from its original version. Modifications: Cropped; modified the white balance/brightness to make the paper and areas tinted white to appear as white (an artistic decision to compensate for its yellowing/off-white base), while trying to retain the contrast and softness of the lithographic form. The base .tiff image was too large to upload to the Commons. Modifications made by Morgan Riley. The original can be found here: https://www.loc.gov/pictures/resource/pga.04044/.

[edit]
This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.
The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
