Publicity photograph of literary critic and writer Edmund Wilson (1895-1972) taken at 52 W. 52nd Street in New York City by studio portraitist Ben Pinchot circa April 1936. As Wilson paid Pinchot for this publicity photograph, the copyright wholly resided with Wilson. The author distributed this publicity photograph to promote his upcoming 1936 book Travels in Two Democracies published by Harcourt, Brace & Company. According to archivists at the U.S. Library of Congress and the New York Public Library, Wilson's publicist Dorothy Larrimore of Doubleday & Company again freely released and distributed this publicity photograph without a copyright notice and with no use restrictions ten years later to promote the author's 1946 book Memoirs of Hecate County. As physical copies of this publicity photograph were released and distributed by his authorized publicist in 1946 without a copyright notice to hundreds of press outlets in order to promote Wilson and his books, it resides in the public domain. See the original uncropped physical copy of the publicity photograph sent to press outlets with no copyright and no use restrictions.
