This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.
You must also include a United States public domain tag to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States.
Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Jamaica has 95 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but it does implement the rule of the shorter term. Copyright may extend on works created by French who died for France in World War II (more information), Russians who served in the Eastern Front of World War II (known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia) and posthumously rehabilitated victims of Soviet repressions (more information).

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. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.

I asked the Librarian about the license and received this reply:
"Insofar as we know, this book is out of copyright. I have checked the Library of Congress copyright registry and it is no longer listed. No application was made for renewal and copyright expired before the newer and longer terms came into effect. I have also seen it reprinted in anthologies without credit when nearly every other story was included in the acknowledgements page. As part of the University of Texas Utopia project http://utopia.utexas.edu/ we are required to ensure copyright as well and so far, we have had no problems with this text. It has been up for at least 10 years."
