Were not the original maps "Crown Copyright"? And if so, how does that affect the statement below?
******************************************* This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or less. This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1923. ******************************************* Taken from: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Map_of_Anglesey_OS_Map_name_002-SE,_Ordnance_Survey,_1888-1891.jpg If the author was 25 in 1891 and lived to age 75, that is 1941, then copyright expired in 2011? And if she died aged 85, then copyright expires in 2021? Working on death year plus 70.
