The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain". This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
This image was originally featured in the Hetzel edition of Mystery Island, and has also been featured in more recent editions (this particular instance was scanned in a recent edition). The images were originally drawn by Jules Férat. They are now the public domain, since their Droit d'auteur is expired.
Footnote: This is a French work. French law applies. France does not use the notion of "copyright", but a "Droit d'auteur" system.
