 | This image is in the public domain in the United States because it was first published in the U.S. between 1978 and March 1, 1989, and a substantial number of authorized copies were distributed to the public without a copyright notice, and where the copyright was not later registered.
Outside the US, explicit copyright notices were not necessarily required, other jurisdictions having other rules, and so this image might not be in the public domain outside the United States. See Wikipedia:Public domain and Wikipedia:Copyrights for more details. Please add the year the author of the work died. |  |
