Commons does not let us upload a pre-1923 work by a British artist who

copyright. Commons attempts to follow all relevant international
copyright laws,
Nope. Commons has decided that this is one area where it isn't going
to pay attention to non US law.
Are you suggesting that Commons *does* let us upload a pre-1923 work
by a British artist who died in 1960? Because that is very much not
the case on the Wikimedia Commons to which I contribute.
Likewise, Cary's suggestion that Commons takes a view on "bad law" is
clearly not correct, as can be seen over the PD-1996 discussions.
Gaurav Vaidya's suggestion sounds like a good one to me.
