In accordance to the "Copyright Term and the Public Domain in the United States, 1 January 2009" [1] Images published with notice but copyright was not renewed from 1923 through 1963 are public domain due to copyright expiration. "Puerto Rico Ilustrado" which went out of service December 27th 1952, 60 years ago, could not have renewed it's copyright which expired. Therefore, since Puerto Rico fell under US copyright in 1952 as well as today, this would make the Jose Ramon Fernandez image public domain.
