    Hi folks,

    Would anybody have contact details to seek permission to display a scan of a print by "Irish Press Photo" please ? I know the Irish Press newspaper is long gone, but I presume copyrights are still owned by either Irish Press PLC or transferred to somebody else...

    Thanks

    I can put you in touch with a former picture editor ..or I can ask him who you should contact.

    will let you know tomorrow.

    That would be very helpful thanks. If it makes a difference, the photo is from 1948.

    If its that old, chances are its now public domain.

    I'm not so sure. Copyright lasts for 50yrs (or maybe 70) after the death of the photographer normally AFAIK. However, in this case the paper owned the copyright so I'm not sure what the terms are...
