Copyright Aid

Thanks, Andy, you are being extremely patient with me!

Hello again, Andy!
Have just come across your post from 13 June 2010, which cites the 70 year rule from death of author for artistic works (including photographic postcards) enshrined in the 1988 Copyright Act.

I am now totally confused!

Much appreciated.

I have now been informed that Mills & Co traded from 1886 to 1964 at various locations in Portsmouth. In the light of the Copyright Act information provided, would I be correct in assuming that postcards published in the 1930s/40s by the company and not credited to a photographer would be out of ...

Thank you....food for thought! I am aware that Stephen Cribb, Mills' principal photographer, died in 1963 and is attributed on some of the Southsea Rock Garden postcards.

I should add that the images concerned are photographic.

Good Morning,
I'm working on updating a public information panel in Southsea and would like to include images from postcards published by Mills & Co in the 1930s. I've been unsuccessful in establishing the status of this company or whether its intellectual property rights were transferred elsewhere ...
