This applies to U.S. works where the copyright has expired, often because its first publication occurred prior to January 1, 1929, and if not then due to lack of notice or renewal. See this page for further explanation. This image might not be in the public domain outside of the United States; this especially applies in the countries and areas that do not apply the rule of the shorter term for US works, such as Canada, Mainland China (not Hong Kong or Macao), Germany, Mexico, and Switzerland. The creator and year of publication are essential information and must be provided. See Wikipedia:Public domain and Wikipedia:Copyrights for more details.
Other versions	The full image as reproduced in King's Handbook is available as Image:The Dakota 1880s full.jpg.

Assuming it is an anonymous work (I've never seen a photographer's name associated with this image), I think the image would be even {{PD-old}}, as for anonymously published works, the copyright term starts to run at the first publication just about anywhere. Moses S. King himself most likely was not the photographer; he was an editor who published a whole series of such books; see e.g. this list. Lupo 15:12, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
