: Came across your reply regarding the copyright of older works of art. I'm trying to determine if I can reproduce an MS Escher piece -- only about a 100 years old -- for use on a save the date card. Would he or his heir still have copyright. Or do I need to worry about the gallery that presently has the art. The image was lifted from an internet page without any notifications about copyright.

: Appreciate any guidance.

You are treading on dangerous ground. You might not get caught. I you do it could be expensive if you are liable. Copyrights are now good for life plus 70 years. A reproduction is also registerable. Unless you are certain that the image you want to copy is public domain there is distinct risk.
