Description: Photo of Don Adams as Maxwell Smart, with infamous "shoe phone". On the first photo, there's a date but no author information. On the second, GAC is listed as Adams' management was using the image for publicity purposes, but the seller did not offer a scan of the photo back. Combining the two results in both an author and a useful date for PD-pre 1978 license purposes. Neither of these have any copyright marks.
