Summary

Description
English: High school senior of American author Thomas Pynchon, age 16, from the 1953 Oyster Bay High School yearbook.
Date
Source
English: * Original source: The Oysterette yearbook, 1953, published by Oyster Bay High School in Oyster Bay, New York.
  • Immediate source: Reproduced on page 176 of Clifford Mead's 1989 book Thomas Pynchon: a Bibliography of Primary and Secondary Materials, published by the Dalkey Archive Press, ISBN 0-916583-37-6. Scanned copy of the book accessed via the Internet Archive. Minor retouching by uploader.
Author
English: Photographer unknown, presumably an anonymous work-for-hire on behalf of Oyster Bay High School.
Permission
(Reusing this file)
English: No permission is required because the photo is in the public domain. Without an original hard copy or full scan, it is impossible to determine whether The Oysterette was published with a valid copyright notice. However, even if it did carry a valid notice, the copyright was not renewed as required to extend the copyright term of US works published prior to 1964. See the online searchable Copyright Catalog (1978 to present). The 1953 edition of The Oysterette would have to have been renewed in its 27th or 28th year, either 1980 or 1981. It was not, so any copyright protection would have expired at that time.

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:
Public domain
This work is in the public domain because it was published in the United States between 1929 and 1963, and although there may or may not have been a copyright notice, the copyright was not renewed. For further explanation, see Commons:Hirtle chart and the copyright renewal logs. Note that it may still be copyrighted in jurisdictions that do not apply the rule of the shorter term for US works (depending on the date of the author's death), such as Canada (70 years p.m.a.), Mainland China (50 years p.m.a., not Hong Kong or Macao), Germany (70 years p.m.a.), Mexico (100 years p.m.a.), Switzerland (70 years p.m.a.), and other countries with individual treaties.

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.
