Summary
| Description | Photo portrait of the American poet John Ashbery. | ||
| Date | Published May 15, 1975. The date the photograph was taken is unknown, but most likely late 1974–early 1975. | ||
| Source | Back cover of the dust jacket of the first edition of Self-Portrait in a Convex Mirror. Image cropped from a high-resolution scan of the dust jacket. As originally printed on the dust jacket, the portrait is tinted blue; this image has been rendered in black and white. Some other edits were made to remove minor flaws (such as minor specks on the scanned cover) and to reduce noise from compression in the original scan. The modifications are de minimis and do not require attribution. | ||
| Author | The photo portrait is credited to Michael Teague. (For jurisdictions that define copyright term on the date of the author's death: according to this obituary in The New York Times, Teague died in 1999.) Dust jacket published by Viking Press. | ||
| Permission (Reusing this file) |
No permission is required for the following reasons:
The collection Self-Portrait in a Convex Mirror was published in 1975; the book itself carried a copyright notice (seen here in a scan of the book at archive.org) and its contents remain copyrighted. However, the first-edition dust jacket did not carry a separate copyright notice. According to The Compendium of U.S. Copyright Office Practices: Chapter 2200, § 2207.1(C) at p. 15:
To verify the lack of a copyright notice, high-resolution photos of other parts of the same edition's dust jacket can be seen via WorthPoint, Freeman's Auctioneers & Appraisers, and Biblio: Keep in mind that the pre-1989 requirements for copyright notice were highly formalistic and, other than a few enumerated exceptions, required these three elements:

Licensing
This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.  |
