File-specific note: Original 1909/1910 Rider–Waite–Smith artwork is public domain in the United States. Commons file pages identify the status of each scan; verify the individual file page and local law before reuse.
Wikimedia Commons’ public-domain guidance describes works as public domain in their country of origin and in jurisdictions whose copyright term is the author’s life plus 70 years or fewer.

Copyright terms differ internationally. Commons cautions that the image may not be public domain in Mexico (100 years), Jamaica (95), Colombia (80), Guatemala or Samoa (75); these countries do not apply the rule of the shorter term. Honduras has a 75-year term but does apply that rule. Certain French wartime works and specified Russian wartime or posthumously rehabilitated works may also receive extended terms.
