|Description={{en|1=Image of the back cover of E.M. Hull's pulp fiction work titled 'The Sheik' (a "mapback" book). Published in 1921. I referenced both the book title and book author against both [http://collections.stanford.edu | Standford's database] as well as [http://www.copyright.gov/ | Copyright.gov], no specific entries pertaining to the actual book title in question. A subsequent novel, ''The Sons of Sheik'' which appears to be a spin-off is copyrighted, as it appears to be the inspiration to one or more films, but that is not the case with this book/cover-art. After doing a google search for similar covers to the book, many appear to be associated with the subsequent sequel, ''Sons of the Sheik'' and the 1926 Silent film, 'The Son of the Sheik'. |
|||
No copyright entry or renewal information from either [http://collections.stanford.edu Standford's database] or [http://www.copyright.gov/records/ Copyright.org - records]. The sequel to this work, titled ''The Son(s) of the Sheik'' is copyrighted, as it was the inspiration for one or more films. |
|||
A [http://www.google.com google] image search doesn't appear to show any relevant entries. Most images that appear on subsequent releases of this book, if any, appear to be images from the movie ''The Son of the Sheik'' in 1926. |
|||
I have an image of the inside title page, of the copyright notice, there is no mention of a cover-artist or copyright information pertaining to the cover art, or back cover art. Only MCMXXI - pertaining to 1921 for the discourse itself. |
|||
As [[User:AnonMoos|Anonmoos]] commented on [[User_talk:Andrew.cudzilo|my talk page]] Dell mapbacks were published between 1943-51, also from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mapback Mapback entry], this would definitely fall prior to the 1964 copyright deadline. |
|||
Further the nature of the image, its simplicity, compared to other covers of the same book from a google search would lead me to believe that the cover was used only for the specific purpose of the book. |
|||
At this point I'm marking it as PD-US-not-renewed, unless otherwise challenged}} |
|||
I took an image of the inside title page, with copyright notice (a bit blurry, but readable), it makes no mention of the cover-artist. Judging from the simplicity of the cover art, with the aforementioned research, I believe making this as PD-US-not-renewed is justified |
