source info please!

No source...it's from a 16th century tapestry Fr. Ash 18:23, 20 Nov 2005 (CST)

It was published somewhere or did you photograph the tapestry yourself? Joseph Thiebes 20:31, 20 Nov 2005 (CST)

It was from a book printed before the 1940s...don't worry, it's PD. Fr. Ash

It would be great if we could have the source info. I can tell you any number of things that were published before 1940 that are not PD. It sounds like you know where it came from... why not share this info? Joseph Thiebes 04:49, 21 Nov 2005 (CST)

Because it's been over a year since I got it. It wasn't a private photo someone took...it was a reproduction, which doesn't copyright it. If someone reproduces the Mona Lisa and prints it in a book, I don't have to credit the book if I scan the image and reproduce it somewhere else. The vast majority of similar historical images on Wikipedia fall into this category...they were scanned from books or taken from websites who scanned them from books...it is legal and aboveboard. I appreciate your attention to detail, but there is no legal reason to worry about having reproductions of historical artwork on the site. Fr. Ash 12:21, 21 Nov 2005 (CST)
