File:Deutsches Historisches Museum Der Stürmerplakat.jpg[edit]

Der Sturmer had known contributors so I doubt this work is genuinely anonymous. According to the text, Streicher didn't write it. Likely copyrighted both in Germany and US. German FoP does not apply to the interior of museums. Buidhe (talk) 08:50, 2 June 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  • Symbol delete vote.svg Delete, unfortunately. Copyright in the US was almost certainly restored by URAA, even if it was anonymously or pseudonymously published, since it wasn't public domain in Germany on the restoration date (January 1, 1996). clpo13(talk) 18:38, 2 June 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • Symbol keep vote.svg Keep. It's not a content of "Der Stürmer" by any known contributor but a poster of the "Stürmer Verlag" who ceased to exist in 1945 with no hint to any identifiable contributor. There is no proof that this poster - just an idea of Buidhe - that this poster is not "genuinely anonymous" or "likely copyrighted". After all institutions like the "Deutsches Historisches Museum" and the "United States Holocaust Memorial Museum" are using that same poster on their websites.

    • @Xenophon: Well, first of all the image appears to have a signature in the upper right corner. I cannot read it but we would have to investigate if it is a known individual before assuming that no one could claim the copyright. Could you link where "Deutsches Historisches Museum" and the "United States Holocaust Memorial Museum" are using the image; I could not find with reverse image search. These websites may also be using it under fair use, but of course we cannot allow fair use at Commons. Buidhe (talk) 20:27, 2 June 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • Well the first link says the image is © Deutsches Historisches Museum, Berlin. Doesn't exactly support that it is a free image. Buidhe (talk) 21:40, 2 June 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]
It seems highly unlikely that a Museum founded in 1987 would own the copyright to a poster made in 1935, which is one of its exhibits, though admittedly I'm no expert. nagualdesign 01:05, 11 June 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Deleted: The illustration is signed "Fips", this is de:Philipp Rupprecht, who died in 1975. So it's still protected by copyright until the end of 2045. The file can be restored in 2046. --Rosenzweig τ 20:32, 22 July 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]
