This image is in the public domain because the Norwegian Copyright law (§43a) specifies that images not considered to be "works of art" become public domain 50 years after they were created, as long as the photographer has been dead for 15 years.
Under the former photo law, protection ended 25 years after creation, provided that more than 15 years had passed since the photographer's death or the photographer is unknown. This image is in the public domain if this older term already had expired as of 29 June 1995.[1]
