English: First Class Verandah café on board the RMS Mauretania
Interior of the passenger liner 'Mauretania' (1907) showing the First Class Verandah Café, on the Boat Deck (A Deck); a view looking across to the port side. Bedford Lemere & Co daybooks state that this photograph was taken in 1914. However, it shows the Verandah Café after it had been remodelled along the lines of the Orangery at Hampton Court Palace. This work was carried out during the ship's refit completed in February 1927. The Verandah Café was considered an innovative feature and it allowed passengers to sit outside while simultaneously protecting them from the elements.

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.
