This work is in the public domain in Turkey because it has been expropriated as national heritage or its copyright has expired. Article 27 of the Turkish copyright law states: The protection period continues during the lifetime of the author of the work and for 70 years after his death. For works published after the death of their author, the protection period is 70 years after the date of death. In cases stated in the first paragraph of Article 12, the protection period is 70 years from the date that the work is published, unless the author of the work discloses his name before the expiry of this period. In case the author of the work is a legal person, the protection period is 70 years from the date that the work is published. العربيَّة | azərbaycanca | English | español | français | italiano | македонски | sicilianu | slovenščina | Türkçe | +/−

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.
