This Swedish photograph is in the public domain in Sweden because one of the following applies:

• The photograph does not reach the Swedish threshold of originality (common for snapshots and journalistic photos) and was created before 1 January 1974 (SFS 1960:729, § 49a).
• The photograph was published anonymously before 1 January 1954 and the author did not reveal their identity during the following 70 years (SFS 1960:729, § 44).

For photos in the first category created before 1969, also {{PD-1996}} usually applies. For photos in the second category published before 1929, also {{PD-US-expired}} usually applies.

If the photographer died before 1954, {{PD-old-70}} should be used instead of this tag. If the author died before 1926, also {{PD-1996}} usually applies.

This work published on or after 1 January 1929 is in the public domain in the United States because

1. it was first published outside the United States (and not published in the U.S. within 30 days)

2. and it failed to meet the US copyright formalities in the following way:

Published between 1 January 1929 and 31 December 1977 inclusive without a copyright notice.

3. and it was out of copyright in the source country on the relevant URAA date.
