English: Tinted photo with caption: "ON SECOND AVENUE. A section of the parade which greeted the Atlantic Squadron at Seattle". From the materials for the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition of 1909, held in Seattle.
The building in extreme perspective at near left is the Seattle Hotel (a.k.a. Hotel Seattle), demolished in the 1960s. The next building on the left is the Butler Hotel (its sign can be seen), the lower two stories of which survive. The first building on the right is gone, replaced in 1929 by the Hartford Building. The Corona Building and the Alaska Building (second and third from right) are still standing.
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. Note: This tag should not be used for sound recordings.PD-1923Public domain in the United States//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Argus_-_A.Y.P._ed._-_Page_48b.jpg
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.
