Matt:
By "historic" I assume you mean that the underlying photograph is out of
copyright.
For this kind of request we simply charge for delivery of a properly sized
digital file ("repro photo") for printing. A product price or service fee, in
other words. There is no licensing involved.
If we don’t have a file, and one needs to be shot, that's obviously a special
service. We charge around $150 per piece for that.

Subject: [MCN-L] fees for image use
Hello colleagues--
We've had a request from a local merchant to use images from our historic photo
collections as permanent interior decoration. The images will be very
prominent, printed at around 40x60". We're uncertain what to charge them.
Has anyone licensed images in this way, and how did you assign a value to them?
Thanks for any insight.
