Public domainPublic domainfalsefalse
This Croatian work is in the public domain because its copyright expired pursuant to the Yugoslav Copyright Act of 1978 and the succeeding Croatian Copyright Act of 1991 (NN 53/91 and 58/93), which provided for copyright term of the life of the author plus fifty years, respectively 25 years for photograph or a work of applied art (details). This applies to works already in the public domain on or before July 27th, 1999, when the law was changed.
The work meets one of the following criteria:
a) it is a work of known authorship and the author died before January 1st, 1949
b) it is an anonymous work and it was published before January 1st, 1949
c) a photograph or a work of applied art published before January 1, 1974
A source should be included so that the status can be verified.
Note that other works enter the public domain 70 years after the author's death or 70 years after publication if the work was published anonymously. If this is the case please use {{PD-old-70}}.
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 (more information).

it was first published outside the United States (and not published in the U.S. within 30 days),
it was first published before 1 March 1989 without copyright notice or before 1964 without copyright renewal or before the source country established copyright relations with the United States,

The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain". This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
