Not really. For instance, in Europe the copyright protection runs for
70 years from the DEATH of the author, not the first publish date. So
if the author is European (or American, for that matter), the picture
might not yet be PD. I don't know the rules in India, but perhaps
there the protection period runs from the publication date, in which
case the citizenship of the author is important.
