First-edition dust jacket of the novel Cat's Cradle (1963) by the American author Kurt Vonnegut. Published by Holt, Rinehart & Winston (now called Holt McDougal).
First, the photo is a mechanical scan/photocopy of the original cover and does not qualify for independent copyright protection.
Second, the dust jacket was first published prior to 1978 without a valid copyright notice. Cat's Cradle was first published in 1963; the hardcover book itself carried a copyright notice, so its contents remain copyrighted. However, the first-edition dust jacket did not carry a separate copyright notice. According to The Compendium of U.S. Copyright Office Practices: Chapter 2200, § 2207.1(C) at p. 15:
"A notice of copyright on the dust jacket of a book is not an acceptable notice for the book, because the dust jacket is not permanently attached to the book. Likewise, a notice appearing in a book is not an acceptable notice for the dust jacket or any material appearing on that dust jacket, even if the book refers to the jacket or material appearing on the jacket."
The jacket's lack of a copyright notice is self-verifying; someone looking to double-check can examine the image itself, which can also be found on Commons here.
Keep in mind that the pre-1989 requirements for copyright notice were highly formalistic and, other than a few enumerated exceptions, required these three elements:
"The name of the copyright owner, or an abbreviation by which the name can be recognized, or a generally known alternative designation of the owner."
If just one of these elements is omitted, the work is deemed to be published without notice and is not eligible for copyright protection. Neither the year "1963" nor a copyright symbol (or any acceptable variant) appear anywhere on the dust jacket. Credits like "Jacket design by Ben Feder, Inc." do not meet these requirements, nor do the identifications of the publisher and author.
Tento obrázek je volným dílem, protože se jedná jen o mechanický sken či fotokopii originálu volného díla anebo se jedná o dílo, jež se evidentně takovému skenu či fotokopii podobá natolik, že nemůže požívat ochrany autorského práva. Originál samotný je volným dílem z následujícího důvodu:

Toto je volné dílo, neboť bylo vydáno ve Spojených státech mezi roky 1929 a 1977 bez copyrightové výhrady. Pokud není jeho autor již mnoho let mrtev, je stále autorskoprávně chráněno v zemích, které na americká díla neuplatňují pravidlo kratší doby ochrany, jako jsou například Kanada (50 p.m.a.), Čína (50 p.m.a., netýká se Hongkongu či Macaa), Německo (70 p.m.a.), Mexiko (100 p.m.a.), Švýcarsko (70 p.m.a.) a další země s individuálními smlouvami.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.
Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
