This is a faithful photographic reproduction of an original two-dimensional work of art. The original image comprising the work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:

	This image is in the public domain in India because its term of copyright has expired. Indian copyright act applies in India, to images first published in India. According to The Indian Copyright Act, 1957, all photographs and sound recordings enter the public domain after sixty years counted from the beginning of the following calendar year (ie. as of 2007, prior to 1-January-1947) after they were first published.
	This image might not be in the public domain outside India. The creator and year of publication are essential information and must be provided. See Wikipedia:Public domain and Wikipedia:Copyrights for more details.

Under United States copyright law, originality of expression is necessary for copyright protection, and a mere photograph of an out-of-copyright work may not be protected under U.S.copyright law. This photograph was taken in the U.S. or in another country where a similar rule applies (for a list of allowable countries, see Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag#Country-specific rules).
This photographic reproduction is therefore also in the public domain.
