Summary

Description
English: Karl Marx in London, early May 1861 (photograph: Richard Beard Studio).

More information:

"Karl Marx. 1861, early May. London.
Copy, positive. 6x9 cm. Photographer Beard. Dated by a letter from Marx to Lassalle of 8 May 1861, which says: “I enclose two little photographs—one for the Countess [Sophie Hatzfeldt. Ed.], to whom please give my best regards, and one for you” (MEW, Vol. 30, p. 604).
On 10 May 1861, Marx wrote to Engels in Manchester: “Enclosed, firstly, a photograph. Lupus [Wilhelm Wolff. Ed] and Gumpert will each receive ditto as soon as I have more prints. Had the thing taken partly for my Rotterdam cousin [Jacques Philips. Ed.], partly in exchange for photos received in Germany and Holland” (MEW, Vol. 30, p. 165).
On the back of the copy in the Central Party Archives of the Institute of Marxism-Leninism (CPA IML) is a note by Kugelmann: "Karl Marx. Copie 1863 von dem Original im Besitze der Frau Bertha Markheim in Fulda” (“Karl Marx. Copy of 1863 from original in the possession of Frau Bertha Markheim in Fulda”).
In reference to this photograph Mrs. Marx wrote to Bertha Markheim on 12 February 1863: “That you should wish to have my husband’s photograph copied has given him and the children great pleasure; only they all feel it is not a good one, and the girls are now determined to have another done. But at the moment that would be ill-advised, as Karl has been suffering for days from an eye inflammation which has quite disfigured him” (CPA IML, F. 6, No. 41).
An original print of this photo, with the studio imprint, is in the possession of the Marx Memorial Museum in Trier (West Germany)."

Mentioned copy in Marx-Haus must have been a sister photograph in where Marx facing a slightly different corner (which was also published as a post-card by the museum), rather than this exact photograph.

Licensing

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.


You must also include a United States public domain tag to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States. Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Jamaica has 95 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but it does implement the rule of the shorter term. Copyright may extend on works created by French who died for France in World War II (more information), Russians who served in the Eastern Front of World War II (known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia) and posthumously rehabilitated victims of Soviet repressions (more information).

The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
