For my practical use, is a photograph taken in India in 1908 by a Indian photographer is public domain in USA (first published in India)? and if it is taken in 1920?
eh probably.
in 1945?
Probably not or at least it would be so compelx to show that it is PD that it would be unlikely to be worth the effort.

Probably, probably, probably not.
and if the photographer is from a third country, England, for example?
It depends
