The photo was published simultaneously in many newspapers, some of which had no copyright notice at all (neither for the photo in particular, nor for the newspaper as a whole). For example:
- Detroit Free Press
- The Marion Star
- The News-Palladium
- The Newark Advocate
- Decatur Herald
- Edwardsville Intelligencer
Copyright was therefore forfeited per section 9 of the Copyright Act of 1909, which required that notice of copyright be affixed to every published copy.
