It's a book about art from prehistory to 1800! This is art on which the copyright has long since expired, and I don't know about Canada but if they're like the US rather than the UK you (quite rightly) cannot pretend to claim copyright on photographs of such paintings. The costs of copyright fees for artworks are increasingly having a chilling affect on the history of art. - Rob. _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
