Presumably it's a public domain image; but how can you verify if it is or not?

According to Wikipedia, Terry Nation only died in 1997. He created the Daleks in 1963. I presumed he extended his copyright to the maximum.
That would tell me that Terry's copyrights are probably still in effect. So the original photographer may have violated copyright in taking the picture.
On top of that, unless HarryT was the photographer, there may be a violation of the photographer's copyright.
Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer, but based on what I know about copyright law, it would seem that HarryT is in violation.
Which demonstrates just how far copyright law deviates from reality.
