ملف:Jezebel (1938 film poster).jpg

English: Scan via Heritage Auctions. Cropped from the original image.

English: Vitagraph Inc., a subsidiary of Warner Bros. at the time of publication.

English: The poster included a defective copyright notice, seen at bottom left: "Copyright Vitagraph Inc. All Rights Reserved". The notice omits the year of publication, 1938.

Even if the notice is deemed sufficient, the copyright for the artwork was not renewed, as was required by American copyright law to extend/maintain protection for works published 1963 or earlier. In order to maintain copyright protection, the poster would have had to be renewed 28 years after publication, in either 1965 or 1966 (see the sections for "Artwork: Original registrations and renewals" and refer to the links to search the copyright catalogs for those years). Because it was not renewed, copyright lapsed at that time. Note that the poster art is a distinct work from the film it represents and had to be renewed separately.)
