Summary
DescriptionThorsten Nordenfelt. Svensk ubåtspionjär.jpg
A lot of damage, but little of it on the face and only a bit on the jacket. There was a lot of damage to the background - especially the big thumbprint on the right, but there was never much information there, just some random gradients, so the major damage was well away from important areas. Does mean the random background gradients might not perfectly reflect the original gradients in places with high damage, but then, almost none of the encyclopedic value is in those parts of the image anyway. The jacket, meanwhile, has a pattern and texture, which gives a lot of information about what should be in damaged areas, and, as I said, was less damaged than the background.

As Adam lives in Britain, which makes it incredibly easy to acquire copyright in his works, he grants, if needed, an irrevokable license to use this work however you see fit. He requests attribution where possible, and realises that "where possible" means that that request is not legally enforcable.

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.
You must also include a
United States public domain tag to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States. Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Jamaica has 95 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the
rule of the shorter term. Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but it does implement the rule of the shorter term. Copyright may extend on works created by French who died for France in
World War II (
more information), Russians who served in
the Eastern Front of World War II (known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia) and posthumously
rehabilitated victims of Soviet repressions (
