Summary
Photograph of Charles Cowper, former Premier of New South Wales, Australia, taken before October 1916. It is from the collection of the State Library of New South Wales. Under Australian law, all photographs taken in Australia before 1955 are in the public domain. This image is in the public domain under both Australian copyright law and US copyright law. The State Library asserts copyright over the image; however, as the image was taken before 1955, and there is no claim of having modified the image on their part, this assertion is incorrect.
