Canadian law applies. No death date is necessary. --Fæ (talk) 21:47, 20 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Fæ: Canada has 50 years p.m.a. --Patrick Rogel (talk) 22:37, 20 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
My bad, I was thinking of photographs not artworks. --Fæ (talk) 10:28, 21 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
 Delete I could not find neither the source on the BL nor information about the author. - Fma12 (talk) 10:35, 21 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Patrick Rogel: Very mysterious! Some thoughts:
  • These were not taken from the BL website. We uploaded these directly from the original masters, at about the same time that they were uploaded to the BL website, and added a courtesy link to point to their digital site. I've just run a search on the BL site under the HS85 prefix, which finds 2634 images. According to my notes, we uploaded 3094 JPEG images, so about 400 more than the BL did. This suggests to me that the BL site is perhaps not complete, reasons unknown, so I wouldn't worry too much about it not being found there ...
  • As to the underlying copyright, good catch that the rules for an artwork would be different from that for a photograph. I've dug through the original records and the copyright registration was probably done by the "Canadian Sports Publishing Company" - they also registered File:Hurdlers_(HS85-10-21987).jpg, signed Neal A Truslow, & File:Tennis_(HS85-10-21988).jpg, also signed W.F. Taylor, seemingly in the same batch. (There is a fourth record HS85-10-21896 "The Batsman", but I suspect this is a typo in the ID for this image)
  • William F. Taylor apparently died in 1970 (note the signature here seems to match closely), which would mean that if this is life 50 then it will have to be deleted & marked for undeletion in a year's time.
  • Identifying Neal Truslow (of "Hurdlers") is trickier, but I strongly suspect he is this American advertising artist, who died 1944. So that image is safe, at least. Andrew Gray (talk) 18:03, 22 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted: Per Andrew Gray. Undelete next year. --Storkk (talk) 09:21, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
