<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldrdawg, post: 2832432, member: 84149&quot;]Personally, I think citing one&#039;s source of referenced material always makes any type of presentation better, more trustworthy and, occasionally, scholarly. Using a photograph from Heritage and then giving Heritage photo credit adds gravitas to whatever it is you&#039;re doing.&nbsp; I am publishing a historical book (not about coins, sorry) and am using photographs from many archives and resources.&nbsp; Nothing makes me happier than giving photo credit like, &quot;Courtesy of the Trustees Yale University Library.&quot; Giving photo credit is smart, the right thing to do, and can avoid nasty legal disagreements in the future. Even in cases when photos are truly in the public domain due to the passage of time, etc., I still try to get &quot;permission&quot; from the original source as a courtesy.&nbsp; Why not?&nbsp; I may just be lucky, but I have never been told &quot;no.&quot; Most people are pleased to help and some are flattered that you&#039;re even asking.&nbsp; </p><p>TheMont, publishing something or putting something out to the public does NOT, in and of itself, make it &quot;public domain&quot;.&nbsp; But it&#039;s still a great painting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
