This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published in the United States between 1923 and 1977 without a copyright notice. The card has no copyright markings on it as it can be determined from the link above. United States Copyright Office, Circular 3 states: In general, for works first published before March 1, 1989, the copyright owner was required to place an effective notice on all publicly distributed “visually perceptible” copies. A visually perceptible copy is one that can be seen or read, either directly or with the aid of a machine. Examples of visually perceptible copies include a book, sheet music, a photograph, or film. A visually perceptible copy does not include a CD, a vinyl record, or an .MP3 recording of a literary, dramatic, or musical work. The notice for visually perceptible copies should contain all three elements described below. They should appear together or in close proximity on the copies.
- The copyright symbol © (or for phonorecords, the symbol ℗); the word “Copyright”; or the abbreviation “Copr.”
- The year of first publication. If the work is a derivative work or a compilation incorporating previously published material, the year date of first publication of the derivative work or compilation is sufficient. Examples of derivative works are translations or dramatizations; an example of a compilation is an anthology. The year may be omitted when a pictorial, graphic, or sculptural work, with accompanying textual matter, if any, is reproduced in or on greeting cards, postcards, stationery, jewelry, dolls, toys, or useful articles.
- The name of the copyright owner, an abbreviation by which the name can be recognized, or a generally known alternative designation of owner. Example © 2007 Jane Doe.
- An effective notice includes three general elements, as described above, as a single continuous statement. It was permissible to omit the year of publication for works reproduced on greeting cards, postcards, stationary, jewelry, dolls, toys, or any useful article.
- Copyright notice was required for all works first published before March 1, 1989, subject to some exceptions discussed below. If the notice was omitted or a mistake was made in using copyright notice, the work generally lost copyright protection in the United States.
- Copyright notice is optional for works published on or after March 1, 1989, unpublished works, and foreign works.
- An omission or mistake in using a copyright notice may not have invalidated the copyright to works published between January 1, 1978 and March 1, 1989.
