Summary

Description
English: Frank Sinatra in Capitol Studios, circa October 1957, during the recording of Come Fly with Me.
A cropped version of the photograph was published on page 15 of the November 28, 1957, issue of the jazz magazine DownBeat (Vol. 24, No. 24). The accompanying story, titled "Sinatra: He's Frank" and written by John Tynan, detailed the entertainer's preparations before the premiere of the second Frank Sinatra Show (1957–58) on ABC. In 1959, United Artists distributed the photograph as a "keybook" publicity photo.
Date
English: Published by DownBeat on November 28, 1957. The date the photo was taken is not noted in the magazine; the cover photo from the same issue shows Sinatra in January 1956. A very similar Capitol Records publicity photo (see below), showing Sinatra in the same setting and outfit, was dated October 1957.
Source
English: *Original source: DownBeat (November 28, 1957), page 15, appears to be the earliest publication. More of the photograph was shown in the 1959 publicity version. See "other versions" below.
  • Immediate source: Scan via a tweet posted by The Hollywood Reporter on January 19, 2018. Cropped to include only the portions of the photograph disclosed by the "keybook" version. Retouched by uploader.
 This is a retouched picture, which means that it has been digitally altered from its original version. Modifications made by Blz 2049.

Author
English: Photograph by Capitol Records, per a credit found in the 1959 edition of the International Celebrity Register at page 696. No known source credits an individual photographer.
Permission
(Reusing this file)
English: The photograph—at least the portions of the photograph published by DownBeat and United Artists—are in the public domain. DownBeat published a portion of the image first, in 1957, and the term expired on January 1, 1986, because no one renewed the copyright on either the photograph or the issue as a whole by the 28th year after publication. The 1959 UA "keybook" photograph was not renewed within 28 years either, so those additional portions of the photo entered the public domain as of January 1, 1988. See the US Copyright Catalog. Any portions of the photo that were not published by DownBeat in 1957 or UA in 1959 have been cropped out; in fact, this version is slightly smaller than the "keybook" version because the latter had to be tilted slightly to align with this scan.
This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain
This work is in the public domain because it was published in the United States between 1929 and 1963, and although there may or may not have been a copyright notice, the copyright was not renewed. For further explanation, see Commons:Hirtle chart and the copyright renewal logs.
Note that it may still be copyrighted in jurisdictions that do not apply the rule of the shorter term for US works (depending on the date of the author's death), such as Canada (70 years p.m.a.), Mainland China (50 years p.m.a., not Hong Kong or Macao), Germany (70 years p.m.a.), Mexico (100 years p.m.a.), Switzerland (70 years p.m.a.), and other countries with individual treaties.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
