Public domain
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 1976 (SFS 1960:729, § 49a).
  • The photograph was published anonymously before 1 January 1956 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 1931, also {{PD-US-expired}} usually applies.

If the photographer died before 1956, {{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.

The Swedish protection term for journalistic photographs was 25 years after publication in 1996 at URAA time. As the photo was published in 1967, it was on the Swedish public domain in January 1, 1996, so its copyright was not restored in the US. See discussion on the day 15 March 2026.
