You'll see that there's a link to the British Library
page from which the image was snatched. Following that
link you'll see that the British Library claims copyright
on the image. As far as I know this may well hold up
under British law (evil as that would be).
The photograph is of a book over 1000 years old, so the art itself is in
the public domain. The photograph on the library website is of the book,
framed by a ruler and colour scale. And then, a nice little " Copyright
© The British Library" down the bottom. Now AFAICT (and IANAL), there is
nothing creative about that photograph. I find their claim of copyright
spurious, to say the least.
