GUEST,Nick Dow	Cecil Sharp's photos for sale. Illegal? (43)	RE: Cecil Sharp's photos for sale. Illegal?	02 Oct 21
I received a reply from Tiffany at the VWML. The whole thing is unsatisfactory, but unfortunately legal. Many thanks for your email alerting us to this, I appreciate it. I sometimes look at Mudcat to see if there's anything useful for us to know, but hadn't for a while. It's a bit vexing, but the Sharp photos are out of copyright so legally it's above board. Getty says they're part of the Hulton Archive (this was the major British press photo archive) which they acquired in 1996, so presumably the photos were made available to the Hulton Archive before then. I'm told that going back many years, Brian Shuel was marketing Sharp photos on behalf of VWML so it seems likely he mediated this, and they got them from the Hulton Archive. Tiffany Hore No sentiment in business then! Nick
