Resumen

Duration of copyright – image created in the United Kingdom Sub-sections 12 (1) to (5) of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 specifies the duration of copyright in literary, dramatic, musical or artistic works. It is summarised in UK Copyright Service Fact Sheet P-01 UK Copyright Law (2000, last amended 27 September 2017) as follows:

For literary, dramatic, musical or artistic works 70 years from the end of the calendar year in which the last remaining author of the work dies*, or, If the author is unknown, copyright will last for 70 years from end of the year in which the work was created; if it is made available to the public during that time, (by publication, authorised performance, broadcast, etc.), copyright will run for 70 years from the end of the year that the work was first made available.

• In the case of work created on behalf of a company, the duration is linked to the individual person that created the work.

Photograph is of Herbert William Garratt The photograph is of Herbert William Garratt, 1864–1913. Since his age at death was 49, and his appearance in the photograph is consistent with someone in his forties, it has been assumed that the photograph was taken in 1913. The author of the work is unknown, and in that case copyright would expire no later than 1983 unless it was published after 1913. Extensive searches have not revealed any published source; given the obscurity of this engineer it is considered unlikely to have been published in the 70 years before 2019, i.e. after 1949.
