This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional,
public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
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.
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 work is in the public domain in the United States because it meets three requirements:
it was first
published outside the United States (and not published in the U.S. within 30 days),
it was first published before 1 March 1989 without copyright notice or before 1964 without copyright renewal or before the source country established
copyright relations with the United States,
it was in the public domain in its home country (
Turkey) on the
URAA date (1 January 1996).
For background information, see the explanations on
Non-U.S. copyrights. Article 27 of Turkish
Law No. 5846 on Intellectual and Artistic Works, which was in force on the URAA date and is still in force today, states that "in cases stated in the first paragraph of article 12 [which deals with works where the name of the owner is not stated], the protection period is 70 years from the date that the work becomes publicized." The Topkapı Saray Museum was opened to the public on 3 April 1924.
[1] This portrait of Abdülmecid II thus entered the public domain in Turkey 70 years after it was made available to the public, i.e. in 1994.
