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. Adam Cuerden (diskussion) 15:44, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
Bell and his family were American, and this is thus probably under American law.

Dette værk er offentlig ejendom i Amerikas Forenede Stater (USA) fordi det blev udgivet (eller registreret hos U.S. Copyright Office) før 1 januar 1929.
For at et værk skal kunne lægges på Commons som offentlig ejendom skal ophavsretten være udløbet i både USA og oprindelseslandet. Hvis værket ikke er amerikansk, skal det have yderligere en ophavsretslicens, der angiver ophavsretsstatus i oprindelseslandet.

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.
Denne skabelon skal kombineres med en licensskabelon for USA, der angiver hvorfor dette værk er offentlig ejendom i USA. Bemærk at i et mindre antal lande varer ophavsretten længere end 70 år: Mexiko har 100 år, Jamaica har 95 år, Colombia har 80 år og Guatemala og Samoa har 75 år. Dette værk er måske ikke offentlig ejendom i disse lande, som ydermere ikke afkorter beskyttelstiden til maksimalt den i hjemlandet. Honduras har en generel varighed på 75 år men der afkortes beskyttelsestiden til den i hjemlandet.
