The claim of copyright is not at all credible; the site selling prints of it is able to do so because it's in the public domain, not because they somehow obtained ownership of the copyright. It's indisputably public domain in the US, and the only way it could be under copyright in the EU (etc) would be for the unknown creator to live another 40-50 years after taking it (possible but improbable). As far as I'm concerned, lordprice.co.uk has done the "due diligence" to determine that it is PD, as demonstrated by their exploitation of it. If that isn't enough to allow it in Commons, then put it back in EN. -Jason A. Quest (talk) 12:02, 22 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
