: : Would art work, such as cartoons from a major magazine, published in the 1800s be considered public domain? What if they are gathered in a collection that was published much more recently? : Dear Claire Price-Groff, : There is no question about the original work. If I represented the the collection publisher I'd look into the question of infringement. The Bettman Archive may be a safe source for material. What is more, my understanding is that attributions are usually looked upon favorably, and permission maybe easy to get. : I don't recollect that "fair use" gives much latitude. : M.
