{Sidenote: Application cards}
The Copyright Office has prepared blank forms in library card shape,
which are furnished applicants free of charge, for the several classes
of applications mentioned in the law, the cards being in _pink_, except
as hereafter stated, lettered and numbered as follows: (A1) book by
citizen or resident of the United States; (A1. New ed.) new edition of
book by citizen or resident of the United States; (A1 for.) book by
citizen or resident of a foreign country, but manufactured in the United
States; (A2) edition printed in the United States of book originally
published abroad in the English language, all these being double cards
including affidavit of American manufacture--supplemented by _blue_
cards providing with specific instructions, (A1) for separate affidavit
of American manufacture from type set or plates made in the United
States, and (A2) for lithographic or photo-engraving process within the
United States; (A3) book by foreign author in foreign language; (A4) _ad
interim_ copyright--book published abroad in the English language; (A5)
contribution to a newspaper or periodical; (B1) periodical,--for
registration of single issue; (B2) periodical,--general application and
deposit, supplemented by a _white_ blank for depositing single
subsequent issues; (C) lecture, sermon, or address prepared for oral
delivery; (D1) published dramatic composition; (D2) dramatic composition
not reproduced for sale; (D3) dramatico-musical composition; (E1)
published musical composition; (E2) musical composition not reproduced
for sale--these supplemented by a _blue_ card (_U_), notice of use on
mechanical instruments; (F) published map; (G) work of art (painting,
drawing, or sculpture), or model or design for a work of art; (H)
reproduction of a work of art; (I) drawing or plastic work of a
scientific or technical character; (J1) photograph published for sale;
(J2) photograph not reproduced for sale; (K) print or pictorial
illustration; (R1) renewal of copyright subsisting in any work; (R2)
extension of a renewal copyright subsisting in any work. Thus an
applicant for copyright on an American book should send for card (A1),
on which he may enter his application and also include affidavit as to
American type setting, printing, and binding; if he wishes the affidavit
to be separately made he should obtain also the special _blue_ card
(_A_1), or if lithographic or photo-engraving is used he should obtain
also the special _blue_ card (_A_2). A dramatic applicant should send
for card (D1) or card (D3), respectively, for the entry of a dramatic or
dramatico-musical composition; or for (D2) if he desires to copyright
without reproducing for sale. The applicant for a musical composition,
as distinguished from a dramatico-musical work, should send for card
(E1) or (E2) respectively. The art applicant should send for card (G)
for an original work of art, or card (H) for a reproduction, or for a
Public-domain text, read in full here on John Shaqi.
