Licensing

[edit]
Public domain

The author died in 1938, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 80 years or fewer.


This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

  1. a b This copy of the Poster on Getty Images includes "Théâtre des Champs-Elysées" at the top, which is enough to identify the date: It was performed (in its Paris première) at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées starting on 10 May 1913, and the theatre went into near-bankruptcy six months later, with later productions in other opera houses. While it's possible the poster was reused from the opera's première in Monte Carlo, that première was on 4 March 1913. As such, it can't have been used before 1913, as the opera didn't exist, and it can't have been made after 1913 as the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées had to sell off all the sets and close down their production by the end of that year.
