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.

The photo was published simultaneously in many newspapers with no copyright notice at all (neither for the photo in particular, nor for the newspaper as a whole). For example:
- The Miami Herald
- The Tampa Times
- The Tennessean
- Corvallis Gazette-Times
- Democrat and Chronicle (Rochester, NY)
- Messenger-Inquirer (Owensboro, KY)
- The Vancouver Sun
- The Burlington Free Press
Copyright was therefore forfeited per section 9 of the Copyright Act of 1909, which required that notice of copyright be affixed to every published copy.
No instances were found of the photo published with its own copyright notice, indicating that the photo was distributed to newspapers without a copyright notice, and there is no evidence of any requirement imposed on newspapers by the Associated Press to publish the photo with copyright notice.
In addition, approval was received from the photographer (ticket:2012050410010422) to publish this photo under the CC-BY-SA 3.0 license. However, the photo was produced while the photographer was an employee of the Associated Press, so the photo is presumably a work for hire. Any copyright would therefore be owned by the Associated Press and it is not clear that the photographer would have the authority to release it under a free license. This issue is moot because the photo is in the public domain, as explained above.
