Permission: Under the terms of the 1909 Copyright Act, the copyright on this image would have had to be renewed 28 years after publication. A search for copyright renewal records of 1977 ([1]) for "Richardson" and/or "The Heiress" (his only film that year) reveals no trace that this occurred. This work is in the public domain because it was published in the United States between 1923 and 1963 and although there may or may not have been a copyright notice, the copyright was not renewed. Unless its author has been dead for the required period, it is copyrighted in the countries or areas that do not apply the rule of the shorter term for US works, such as Canada (50 pma), Mainland China (50 pma, not Hong Kong or Macao), Germany (70 pma), Mexico (100 pma), Switzerland (70 pma), and other countries with individual treaties.
