For å kunne lagres på Commons må verket både være offentlig eiendom i USA og i opphavslandet. Vernetiden kan i noen tilfeller være lengre enn 80 år i USA, så i tillegg til dette merket trengs det et eget merke som forklarer hvorfor verket er offentlig eiendom (public domain) i USA.

JPEG-filkommentar

http://www.bonhams.com/auctions/11430/lot/164/ Thomas Buttersworth (British, 1768-1842) H.M.S. 'Victory' in full sail and in a squall a pair, both signed 'T.Buttersworth Snr' (lower right oil on canvas each 35.6 x 45cm. Following the abortive pursuit of the French fleet across the Atlantic and back during April-July 1805 (see lot ?, by Montague Dawson, for more details), Nelson finally arrived home on 18th August and went to Merton to join Emma for some well-earned leave. After barely a month however, he was obliged to return to sea to relieve Collingwoods blockade of Cadiz; Victory left Portsmouth on 14th September and, sailing alone as depicted here, rendezvoused with the fleet off the Spanish coast on the 28th. Quite apart from the trauma of losing its beloved commander, the British fleet also very nearly lost his flagship in the aftermath of Trafalgar. Having led the Weather Column of the fleet in Nelsons famous manoeuvre to break the Franco-Spanish line-of-battle in two places, Victory was subjected to a fearsome bombardment by the enemy for a full half-hour before she was able to return fire with her own guns. Once fully engaged, Victory had then borne the brunt of the fighting in the centre and, by the time the battle was won, she had suffered massively from the combined broadsides of several enemy ships. Quite apart from the damage to her hull, her entire mizzen mast and both her other topmasts had been shot away completely and her remaining lower masts were barely strong enough to support any sail at all. Practically unmanageable in the freshening wind of the early evening, her sailors jury-rigged her as best they could but once darkness fell, the entire fleet was buffeted by a near-hurricane which sank many of the prizes and placed Victory herself in a perilous situation. Her crew spared no efforts to save her and on the morning of 28th October, she finally limped into Gibraltar astern of H.M.S. Neptune for temporary repairs prior to the long journey home carrying Nelsons body for burial. Shown here heeling in the heavy seas,, with only the minimum of canvas to steady her, Buttersworth has managed to convey the very real drama of Victory desperately trying to make some headway as she struggles to stay afloat thanks to the remarkable exertions of her officers and men who were determined that she should not founder.
