A search for original copyright registrations was done in artwork for the year 1936. Associated Press did register a few photos, which are listed on page 18. However, none of those listed have any connection with this photo of the Lincoln Tunnel; there's no evidence of copyright on this photo.
Note that it may still be copyrighted in jurisdictions that do not apply the rule of the shorter term for US works (depending on the date of the author's death), such as Canada (50 p.m.a.), Mainland China (50 p.m.a., not Hong Kong or Macao), Germany (70 p.m.a.), Mexico (100 p.m.a.), Switzerland (70 p.m.a.), and other countries with individual treaties.
