Note on the public domain status of this image: This image was created in June 1938 by Trajano Augusto de Carvalho (23 July 1876 - 9 June 1942) and was published in Brazil in Nossa Marinha - Seus Feitos e Glórias (1822-1940), Odebrech S.A., ISBN 85-7048-030-X. Thus in United States copyright law it was a work created before 1978 and first published abroad in a Berne Convention country. Copyright therefore expired 70 entire calendar years years after the death of the author i.e. on 31 December 2012. In Brazilian law copyright lasted the life of the author and 70 entire calendar years (law 9.610 of 1998, Art. 46). Hence Brazilian copyright expired at the end of 2012 also.
