Ian,

 

In this case, and since you've kindly shared the image, it would be unseemly
to make extensive commercial use of it before the knees-up in Scotland. But,
from the information you've given, I would say that the image is not in
copyright. Certainly, acquiring a postcard bestows no particular rights on
the purchaser.

Bill,

The photo is taken from "Limekilns to Culross. Back in Time", Eric Simpson
and George Robertson, European Library,1995. I got permission from Mr
Simpson to put it on the web. I believe that the original is a postcard in
his possession. It would be interesting to know more about the scene...it
looks as though it was posed, and as it was a tiny inn and unlikely to be
frequented by women and children, there must have been some event taking
place perhaps to account for the number of persons.

Regards,

Ian

A lovely photo! It reminds me of the rear aspect of the house that the
Vernes rented in Chantenay from about 1840.

 

But are you sure that it's in copyright? If Mr Simpson is claiming
ownership, that would seem to involve contacting both the inheritors and the
descendants of the photographer.

 Here is an image of the Black Anchor Tavern, visited by Verne and Hignard
with the Reverend Smith at Crombie Point in 1859 where they recovered from
the rain and wind of their sail from Edinburgh. The Copyright belongs to
Eric Simpson and the image was supplied to me by Kerr Doig who is organising
the Verne celebrations of Verne's visit to Oakley.
