This template is for use by the uploader of a photograph taken by somebody else to assert that the photograph can have no independent copyright as it is simply a faithful reproduction of an old, public domain, two-dimensional work of art. For this purpose, 'faithful reproduction' includes even a photograph taken perhaps from several meters away from the work of art, with carefully-arranged and professional lighting, filters and so on. Use of this template means that according to the position of the WMF Board such 'faithful reproduction' photographs are considered to be in the public domain, regardless of how much skill and effort went into taking the picture. | This template is for use by the uploader of a photograph taken by somebody else to assert that the photograph can have no independent copyright as it is simply a faithful reproduction of an old, public domain, two-dimensional work of art.
