Collings died in 1947 so his works were copyrighted in the UK until 2018 and American copyrights were restored in 1996. These images are thus copyrighted in the US until 2031. DrKay (talk) 07:45, 6 August 2021 (UTC) Amended DrKay (talk) 19:12, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
Strong Keep: The author died in 1947, so it is PD in UK. And per PD art: "The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain. This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States". Not to mention that the individual portraits are also public domain, per this reason. BritRoyale (talk) 04:31, 10 August 2021 (UTC)Confirmed sock puppet. DrKay (talk) 20:35, 10 August 2021 (UTC)Keep: This work likely public domain in the US, per {{PD-1996}}. --49.150.110.214 11:47, 11 August 2021 (UTC)- It obviously doesn't meet condition 3: it was still copyrighted in 1996. DrKay (talk)
It has named on it, see for licensing details (File:Edward_VIII_Portrait_-_1936.jpg and File:George VI Portrait - 1936.jpg). --49.150.110.214 22:47, 11 August 2021 (UTC)- This IP

Delete Let's just Ignore All Rules, even don't "assume good faith" for those IP socks, URAA-restored UK works are just URAA-restored. --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 13:34, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
Comment This also affects other copies of the same paintings, such as File:Edward VIII Portrait - 1936.jpg and File:George VI Portrait - 1936.jpg. --Stefan2 (talk) 20:19, 14 August 2021 (UTC)

- Keep: I can't see how restoring a work matters, given everything it says in Wikipedia:Image use policy#Public domain and Threshold of originality. Richard75 (talk) 17:35, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
- @Richard75: Any obsolete copyrights were restored by the URAA trade agreement. en:Image restoration is an entirely different and unrelated concept. DrKay (talk) 19:12, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
