Summary

Description
English: Publicity photo of American musician Tom Waits seated at a messy kitchen table, newspaper and cigarette in hand. Taken for Asylum Records, circa 1979–80, most likely promoting The Heart of Saturday Night, his final album on that label.
Date
English: Circa August 19, 1979–early 1980. The Tom Waits Library dates the photo circa 1977–1980; however, it could not have been taken earlier than August 19, 1979, as the newspaper clearly shows the headline "A Long Road Back for Acton", a story that ran in the Los Angeles Times on that date. The photo was likely taken that same day or shortly thereafter, though it could have been taken some time later if an old newspaper had been found or saved to be used as a photo shoot prop. The prominent placement of a newspaper in the photo also fits with Heartattack and Vine, as the album's cover is designed as the front page a mock newspaper.

The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

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.


Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
