Locomotive photo`s Pre-Grouping through to BR

[billbedford]

Copyright on works produced for commercial purposes, which will include postcards, lasts for 70 years after first publication. So any postcard sold before 1949 is out of copyright. 

Copyright on 'works of art', which includes amateur photography, lasts for 70 after the death of the author. The law requires that you make your 'best efforts' to contact Mr Beckerlegge or his heirs to find out what the position of the copyright is and maybe ask permission to use it. The worst thing that can happen is that such heirs can sue you for their supposed lost. 

 

AIUI the problems for Andy, and Warners, will come mainly from photos that originate in commercial image libraries and from museums who are allowed to add their own reproduction rules to images that are well out of copyright.

We looked into this at the GNR Society, and came to the same conclusion. There's also a clause that some photos that were out of copyright can, in some cases, have copyright revived. In our case, the photo collection is viewable by members only, and is *generally* 1923 and earlier, so most of them are out of copyright.

Many thanks to RRU for starting the thread, I found it really interesting, so much so that I sourced the Michael Carrier book which is marvellous. Quite happy for any pointers towards other pre-grouping photo collections if anybody has good sources.
