SUMMARY
The printed photographic plates and title page of Sanford Bennett's 1912 Old Age, as digitized in the Internet Archive scan of the Cornell University Library copy (cu31924031232105). This is the archival source for the four media assets in the case: the frontispiece portrait of the author at seventy-two (4 January 1912), the 'before' portrait at fifty (8 June 1889), the title page, and a page of captioned exercise photographs (Nos. 3 and 4). Identification of the two portrait subjects as Sanford Bennett rests on the book's own printed plate legends, which name and date them; the exercise-plate figure is not named in its legend and is described generically. Rights: the Cornell scan records that there are no known copyright restrictions in the United States on the use of the text, so the four media assets are tagged no_known_restrictions to match that stated posture; the 1912 United States imprint is in any case old enough (published before 1929) to be out of copyright in the United States. Hosted on the Internet Archive, which is outside the four archives the media-rights checker can adjudicate, so the tag is reported media-rights-unsupported (a warning).

NOTES

The printed photographic plates and title page of Bennett’s 1912 Old Age, digitized in the Internet Archive scan of the Cornell University Library copy. This entry is the archival source for the case’s four media assets. The two portraits are identified as Bennett by the book’s own printed legends, which name and date them (San Francisco, 8 June 1889 and 4 January 1912); the figure in the exercise plate is not named by its legend and is described generically. The Cornell scan records no known United States copyright restrictions on the use of the text, the posture the media tags (no_known_restrictions) match; the 1912 United States imprint is in any case out of copyright in the United States. Bibliographic metadata was copied from the Internet Archive catalog record.
