: : : p.s. I really appreciate this forum - you are wonderful! I know it's a lot of work - thanks! : : Dear Liz Armon, : : There are questions of year of creation and the image. It is my understanding that all work prior to 1923 are out of copyright in the US. If there is a copyright notice on the work after 1923, there is risk. If there is no notice, there is risk only after notice (I'm not taking professional responsibility for these thoughts without a retainer.) : : If I represented a scupltor of and original work, I would push the sculptor to go after a painted copy. : : Safety would be in copying from a public domain source of a work even if the work had a registed copyright on it. : : M. Arthur Auslander : : Auslander & Thomas-Intellectual Property Law Since 1909 : Dear Liz, The situation has to be carefully examined piece by piece. M. Arthur Auslander Auslander & Thomas-Intellectual Property Law Since 1909
