Summary

English: Photo portrait of Sterling Morrison circa 1966, from a publicity photo when he was a member of the American rock band The Velvet Underground.
Date
English: Photo likely taken in 1966 and most likely published in 1966–67 sometime around the release of The Velvet Underground & Nico in March 1967.
Source
English: *Original source: Publicity photo circulated to press by MGM Records/Verve Retouched by uploader. Cropped, skewed slightly to correct warp in paper as scanned, exposure/contrast adjusted.
 This is a retouched picture, which means that it has been digitally altered from its original version. Modifications made by Brandt Luke Zorn.

Author
English: Photographer unknown. Published by Verve Records, at that time a subsidiary of MGM Records.
Permission
(Reusing this file)
English: No permission required for the following reasons:
  1. First, the photo is a mechanical scan/photocopy of the original cover and does not qualify for independent copyright protection.
  2. Second, the portrait was first published prior to 1978 without a valid copyright notice.

the pre-1989 requirements for copyright notice were highly formalistic and, other than a few enumerated exceptions, required these three elements:

  1. "The symbol © or the word 'Copyright' or the abbreviation 'Copr.' or an acceptable variant such as "(c)";
  2. "The year of first publication for the work"; and
  3. "The name of the copyright owner, or an abbreviation by which the name can be recognized, or a generally known alternative designation of the owner."
If just one of these elements is omitted, the work is deemed to have been published without notice and is not eligible for copyright protection.

Licensing

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published in the United States between 1929 and 1977, inclusive, without a copyright notice. For further explanation, see Commons:Hirtle chart as well as a detailed definition of "publication" for public art. Note that it may still be copyrighted in jurisdictions that do not apply the rule of the shorter term for US works (depending on the date of the author's death), such as Canada (50 p.m.a.), Mainland China (50 p.m.a., not Hong Kong or Macao), Germany (70 p.m.a.), Mexico (100 p.m.a.), Switzerland (70 p.m.a.), and other countries with individual treaties.

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.
