Albumen print, 10.5 x 14.5 cm. This was the 1887 revival cast. A gorgeous colourised version by Wilfredo Rafael Rodriguez Hernandez      Alternative names Wilfredor Description Canadian-Brazilian programmer Location of birth Guatire, Venezuela Authority file : Q115464159 creator QS:P170,Q115464159 is available at File:Atelier Nadar - Fly scene from Offenbach's Orphée aux enfers with Jeanne Granier as Eurydice and Eugène Vauthier as Jupiter, 1887 revival, wide-angle shot-Colorized.jpg. Advantages of uncolourised Colourization involves a bit of speculation, so this may have higher encyclopedic value. Advantages of colourised Makes elements pop out. Gorgeous and artistic. If the specific production doesn't matter (posters, illustrations of the show as a whole, etc), has no disadvantages Fun fact: If I'm not horribly mistaken, those wings are pretty clearly drawn on after the photo was taken, likely because the real props wouldn't stay still long enough.

Paul Nadar, the last owner of Atelier Nadar, died in 1939. Nadar died in 1910. If it's considered anonymous, it's out of copyright 70 years after creation, and it was created 138 years ago. In short, it's out of copyright whatever the situation.

It's either:^[2]

	The author died in 1939, so 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 80 years or fewer. This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1930.

Or:

This image (or other media file) is in the public domain because its copyright has expired and its author is anonymous. This applies to the European Union and those countries with a copyright term of 70 years after the work was made available to the public and the author never disclosed their identity. Important: Always mention where the image comes from, as far as possible, and make sure the author never claimed authorship. Note: In Germany and possibly other countries, certain anonymous works published before July 1, 1995 are copyrighted until 70 years after the death of the author. See Übergangsrecht. Please use this template only if the author never claimed authorship or their authorship never became public in any other way. If the work is anonymous or pseudonymous (e.g., published only under a corporate or organization's name), use this template for images published more than 70 years ago. For a work made available to the public in the United Kingdom, please use Template:PD-UK-unknown instead.

1. ↑ Gallica says 1874, but the casting is the 1887 revival cast, so this is in error.
2. ↑ Technically, it's more likely to have been Nadar in 1887, but Nadar died in 1910, and his son, Paul Nadar in 1939. If you're trying to prove public domain, you need to use the last person to die, as copyright in the EU is Life+70 years.
