This image is from the Toronto Public Library's James Salmon collection. The library requests re-users to credit them as the original source, even for public domain material, and request inclusion of the image's call number, apparently S 1-1485 for this image.

The copyright owners, the Toronto Public Library, consider this image to be in the public domain, because it it in the public domain in Canada, based on the date of death of the photographer. A peculiarity in US law burdens the TPL with the US copyright. The USA signed the Uruguary Round of the URAA in 1996, 12 years before its Canadian copyright expired. Other signatories to international IP rights agreements enforce the shorter copyright period when their laws differ from the laws in the country where the original copyright resides.
