Old Photo Copyright

    I purchased some old postcards of a town in Ireland and have removed scratches etc from them. They now look class.

    They date from 1907-1909 and the company that is mentioned on them does not exist anymore.

    Am I right to assume that as over 75 years have passed (and the chances of the photgrapher still being alive) that they are copyright free?

    I want to procude a series of these, perhaps 50 each, frame them and sell them with profits going to a local charity.

    Anyone had similar exp? Will post in Legal forum also.

    Could the publishers have renewed the copyright?
