It depends upon who created it, when, where and how.
If it was done in 1881, then nobody owns the underlying copyright; it expired, if there ever were one.
If published in a country that required copyright notice and registration when it was first published, then it is not copyrighted unless the author/publisher followed those rules.
If made by derivation from someone else's work, without any creativity, then it is not copyrighted, other than what may remain in the underlying design.
If done by an employee of the US Government in the course of business, then it can never be copyrighted by anyone.
Otherwise, in general, the author (or publisher) of the particular image is the owner until the ownership is transferred or expires (say, 99 years after the author's death).
