I have a rather specialized question: was this 1951 Acme Telephoto image of Congressman James G. Fulton with Richard W. Meade's copy of the Lansdowne portrait published before 1964? Acme generally didn't register or renew copyright on its images, so it is likely in the public domain if it was published 1963 or earlier, but as a post-1963 work would still be restricted (see commons:Hirtle chart). It would've been sold to newspapers publishing a story about the painting's return from Spain to the United States. I don't have access to newspaper archives to check—I did find a New York Times story, but I can't access it. Kim Post (talk) 09:53, 26 December 2018 (UTC)
