| Terms of Use: Based on my research I
believe that all of the images accessible thru the pages
in the index below are now in the public domain in the
United States, due to their copyrights having expired,
but you are responsible for any use you make of them.
Keep in mind that intellectual property laws are complex,
can change as government bodies pass new laws, and can
involve more than just copyright ("right of
publicity", trademark laws, etc.). If you have
questions as to what you may legally do with a particular
image, you may wish to consult a lawyer. I have
personally found the book The Public Domain: How to Find & Use Copyright-Free Writings, Music, Art & More by
Stephen Fishman to be very helpful on the subject of
copyright, public domain, and other intellectual property
matters. All of the images were digitized by me (Ted
Kuik) from the original source material sited below. |
