In the absence of any suggestion of any earlier publication, the Lafayette Archives has a type of copyright called Publication right over this image. See UK Copyright and Related Rights Regulations 1996. MichaelMaggs 17:39, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

• Keep the user had to get it somewhere. -Nard 18:23, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. To Nard: yes, of course. From the V&A web site, namely here. For the history of that collection, see : "lost" negatives, rediscovered 1968, then again forgotten for 20 years until 1988. Many of them unpublished. We need publication information for these images. If they were published while they were originally copyrighted, V&A does not have that dreaded publication right on them. See also Commons:Deletion requests/Image:Consuelo Vanderbilt;coronation- 9 augustus 1902.jpg and the links given there. Lupo 23:20, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
  • It is my understanding that the UK has a fixed date of January 1, 1938 before which unpublished works where the natural author is unknown are absolutely PD (see {{PD-UK-unknown}}). -Nard 03:45, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
    • And what is unknown about the photographer? James Stack Lauder ("James Lafayette"), 1853 - 1923. Lupo 07:27, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
      • {{PD-UK-known}} then xD -Nard 11:25, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
        • But that tag applies only to works that were published while they were originally copyrighted. (And the date is not fixed, BTW. Its "January 1 of the current year minus 70 years".) Please go read publication right: if a hitherto unpublished work is first published after its original copyright has run out, the publisher is granted this exclusive right for a period of 25 years. (BTW, that rule applies in all EU countries, not just in the UK.) Unless we have publication info on these Lafayette images, they must be treated as being subject to this publication right, given the history of that collection. Lupo 11:46, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

  • This is not a vote. Why? Lupo 19:33, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Deleted. Publication right still holds here. Lewis Collard! (hai thar, wut u doin) 04:48, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
