What is the copyright law regarding images and engravings pre-1925?
I would like to use images and illustrations (not photographs, but engravings and etchings) from books published in the very early twentieth century and before (some back to 1300). I intend to print these on t-shirts and will not be using “famous” images.
Is it legal to use these images on items that will be sold? I’m not sure who would hold the copyright to, for example, a book about herbal supplements in the 1800s.
Also, I live in the US; however, most of the illustrations are not from artists in the US, but, rather, the UK or other parts of Western Europe.
Anything before 1920 is public domain, and you can use it without restriction. After that, you need to check.
