File:Batum4Forgery1.1.jpg

This is a scan of an image of a portion of a forgery of a postage stamp issued in 1919, and therefore in the public domain in the United States. The scan was taken from the image in J.Ceresa, The Postage Stamps of Russia, 1917-1923, Vol. 4, Transcaucasia, Parts 13-16, British Occupation of Batum, Section A, page 41. Since the stamp is public domain, the two dimensional image of it also has no copyright claim and is public domain.

This image of a postage stamp is in the public domain in the United States because it was first published outside the United States prior to January 1, 1929. Other jurisdictions have other rules. Also note that this image may not be in the public domain in the 9th Circuit if it was published after July 1, 1909.
