First, the photo is a mechanical scan/photocopy of the original cover and does not qualify for independent copyright protection.
Second, the photo was first published prior to 1978 without a valid copyright notice. To Kill a Mockingbird was first published in 1960; 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. The photo on the back did not have a copyright notice of its own, either. 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."
Numerous sources can be used to verify the dust jacket's (and the photo's) lack of a copyright notice:
To Kill a Mockingbird at the Gianakos-Safos Collection – a collection of images of a first edition, which together show the dust jacket in its entirety.
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 "1960" nor a copyright symbol (or any acceptable variant) appear anywhere on the dust jacket. Credits like "Truman Capote" underneath the photo, "Jacket design by Shirley Smith" do not meet the requirements, nor do the identifications of the publisher and author.

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.
