In many jurisdictions, faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are not copyrightable.

This template is for use by the uploader of a freely-licensed photograph where the original work being photographed is a public domain, two-dimensional work of art and the photograph is a faithful reproduction. In this case, the photograph is in the public domain in many, but not necessarily all jurisdictions. In the jurisdictions where it is not, the terms of the free license must be observed.
The template takes two parameters: the first to indicate why the original work of art is in the public domain (if no parameter is given, {{PD-old}} is assumed), and the second to indicate under what free license the photograph is released under (mandatory). In cases where the photo license itself takes parameters, use the "rawphotolicense" parameter as shown below.
