DescriptionMutt & Jeff in A Tropical Eggspedition (Fox, 1919). One Sheet.jpg
English: Cropped from a scan at heritage auctions.
With the comic strip's debut in 1907, Bud Fisher's Mutt and Jeff started on the road to becoming one of the most famous and successful comics of all time. In 1913, the first of what would eventually be nearly 350 animated cartoons featuring the mismatched duo was released; this series would run until 1926. The strip itself finally finished its newspaper run in 1982, after entertaining fans for an impressive 75 years. This rare one sheet from A Tropical Eggspedition has retained impressively bright color. Restoration has the poster displaying nicely, after touchup to the folds, extra vertical folds, edge wear along the bottom border, and a vertical tear in the top blue background (still slightly perceptible). Fine/Very Fine on Linen.
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 works must be out of copyright in both the United States and in the source country of the work in order to be hosted on the Commons. If the work is not a U.S. work, the file must have an additional copyright tag indicating the copyright status in the source country.

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.
