• Firefly (USM) - This image is a crop of an image obtained from the Civil War Photos collection of the US National Archives. Although exact photographer information is not included in the collection, it is likely that the photograph was made by an employee of the US Government while in his official line of duty. Also, this photograph was made during the 1860s. Therefore, I believe this photograph is in the public domain.
