Today I located my piano-vocal score of Anton Rubinstein's "Die Kinder der Heide" (which I happened to have bought 11 years ago in Leipzig, I believe, at a music store in the area of the Thomas-Kirche).

Here's the publishing information:

• Piano-vocal score by the composer.
  New edition.
  Leipzig: Verlag von Bartholf Senff.
  Plates 1493-1495.
  No date.
  Engraved by C.G. Röder.

I'm thinking this is safe to scan and upload, but I'm asking to be sure.

Lyle,

Bartholf Senff was acquired by Simrock in 1907, so all editions with the name Senff on them should be prior to that year.

I'm quite confident it is public domain worldwide - at least for now. That could change if the powers that be decide to up the copyright term to life-plus-250 years.
