M. in 1884 and 1885 respectively, the two unmarried daughters Louise and Harriet lived in their parents' apartment on Højbro Plads, and after Harriet's death in 1917 Louise lived there alone until her death in 1934. It was in these surroundings, filled with Andersenian "memorabilia" (including his portrait in the background and the screen to the right), that Louise Melchior received Elith Reumert in 1922, who came to present her plan for a book on the friendship between H.C. Andersen and the Melchior family.")

This image is in the public domain in Denmark because the DanishConsolidated Act on Copyright of 2010 specifies (§91, 5) that all photographic images not considered to be "photographic works" that were created before 1 January 1970 are exempt from protection (details).
Note that "photographic works", which must display artistic merit or originality, enter the public domain 70 years after the death of the photographer and that photographs that are not considered works but created 1 January 1970 or later become public domain 50 years after they were created. See Licensing for details.
Some countries have a lower threshold of originality and may therefore apply a longer protection term for this image, so it may not be usable in such countries.
