The two-dimensional work of art depicted in this image is in the public domain in the United States, either because it was first published before 1929, or for the reason described either above or below this template. This photograph of the work is also in the public domain in the United States (see Bridgeman Art Library v. Corel Corp.).
Note: Unless the creator died more than 70 years ago, the work of art is not public domain worldwide.

This work was created by a government unit of the state of Florida and is in the public domain under Florida law. Florida's Constitution and its statutes do not permit public records to be copyrighted unless the legislature specifically states they can be. This file is part of the "public record made or received in connection with the official business of any public body, officer, or employee of the state, or persons acting on their behalf, [which includes the work of] the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government and each agency or department created thereunder; counties, municipalities, and districts; and each constitutional officer, board, and commission, or entity created pursuant to [Florida] law or [its] Constitution" (Florida Constitution, § 24) such as a work made or received pursuant to law or ordinance or in connection with the transaction of official business by any state, county, district, or other unit of government created or established by law of the State of Florida (definition of public work at Fla. Stat. § 119.011(12)), and does not fall into any of the various categories of works for which the legislature has specifically permitted copyright to be claimed (see, e.g., § 286.031 [authorizing the Department of State to hold copyrights]; § 24.105(10), Fla. Stat. (2003) [authorizing the Department of the Lottery to hold copyrights]; § 601.101, Fla. Stat. (2003) [permitting the Department of Citrus to hold legal title to copyrights]; § 1004.23, Fla. Stat. (2002) [authorizing universities to secure copyrights in certain works], § 119.084 [permitting agencies to hold copyright for data processing software the agencies have created]; §331.303(13) [authorizing copyright in projects of the Florida Space Authority]). It is consequently in the public domain according to court interpretation of the Florida Constitution, Article I, § 24(a) and Florida Statutes, § 119.01. See Microdecisions, Inc. v. Skinner, 889 So. 2d 871 (Fla. 2d DCA 2004) (Findlaw)

Held by the State of Florida, in the public domain (he also played until 1922, likely in public domain due to age as well).
