Thread Name: Cecil Sharp's photos for sale. Illegal?
Subject: RE: Cecil Sharp's photos for sale. Illegal?
The Getty blurb is straight copypasta from Heritage or am I missing something here: Gipsy, Somerset (?), c1905. Artist: Cecil Sharp

Blurb: 1-218-988 - EFDSS/Heritage Images
Gipsy, Somerset (?), c1905. Photograph taken during Cecil Sharp's folk music collecting expeditions. British musician Sharp (1859-1924) collected folk songs from older people in rural areas of England in the early years of the 20th century.

Sharp catalog at Heritage (97 images)

Fwiw: Heritage also runs one of those internet metadata 'censorship engines' or 'copyright botnets' for images. The exact name escapes me at the mo. IIRC that would make looking out for EFDSS copyrights online part of Heritage's business model.
