Dear James (if I may), Thanks for this. Sadly we don’t allow any of our copyright images to be used on Wikipedia, because we cannot agree to the open-ended licence terms they stipulate and because of seemingly irreconcilable differences in our views on copyright law. Regarding whether you can upload scans of original works belonging to C.W.A Scott, your copies of the photos from News Chronicle (1934) (our version: NPG x28780) and Herald Feature Service (1934) (our version: NPG x28775) are out of copyright, so you can upload your own versions quite legally. This is because copyright in works by unknown individual creators (as here, despite knowing the name of the company) expires 70 years after publication. Copyright in the Howard Coster (d.1959) picture (x24045), however, belongs to the NPG so you would not be able to upload that one. I hope that help. Kind regards,
Licensing
This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domainPublic domainfalsefalse
This UK artistic or literary work, of which the author is unknown and cannot be ascertained by reasonable enquiry, is in the public domain because it is one of the following:
A photograph, which has never previously been made available to the public (e.g. by publication or display at an exhibition) and which was taken more than 70 years ago (before 1 January 1954); or
A photograph, which was made available to the public (e.g. by publication or display at an exhibition) more than 70 years ago (before 1 January 1954); or
An artistic work other than a photograph (e.g. a painting), or a literary work, which was made available to the public (e.g. by publication or display at an exhibition) more than 70 years ago (before 1 January 1954).
This tag can be used only when the author cannot be ascertained by reasonable enquiry. If you wish to rely on it, please specify in the image description the research you have carried out to find who the author was. The above is all subject to any overriding publication right which may exist. In practice, publication right will often override the first of the bullet points listed.
Unpublished anonymous paintings remain in copyright until at least 1 January 2040. This tag does not apply to engravings or musical works. More information
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.
Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
This work may not be in the public domainin the United States because its U.S. copyright was restored by the URAA as it was still copyrighted in its source country (United Kingdom) on the URAA date (1 January 1996). In most cases, it is copyrighted in the U.S. until 95 years after the year in which it was initially published (exceptions are works published after 1977; see Commons:Hirtle chart).This template may not be used for files uploaded after 1 March 2012.
If you are the copyright holder of this file, and do not wish to have it hosted on Commons, please contact our designated agent or nominate the file for deletion, explaining the situation.
