English: The only extant photograph of American bluesman Charley Patton, circa 1929. Patton sits at a chair with a Stella guitar. The portrait was likely taken in Grafton, Wisconsin—the headquarters of Paramount Records—at either a photography studio or recording studio. An image of Patton's face (cropped from this photo) had been discovered in the early 1960s, but the full portrait was not uncovered until 2002 when John Tefteller found it while searching for blues records and ephemera on a trip to Grafton and Port Washington.
English: The full photo was first published in 1929 or 1930 and rediscovered/republished in 2002 after it had entered the public domain.
Original source: The photo was originally published in at least two different forms: a Paramount publicity photo (most likely distributed to newspapers) and a 1930 Paramount promotional calendar distributed by the F. W. Boerner Company. (Boerner was responsible for Paramount's graphics and marketing from 1930–1934, and his company distributed the remainder of Paramount's unsold records after the label went out of business in 1932.) The tighter crop showing just Patton's face was published in a 1929 Paramount supplement.

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.
