I just feel this is getting slightly trivial. In case of applied art, copyright is shared. I think we've had a good round of discussion around that. In case of photography, a photograph is considered as a stand alone object of art unlike earlier discussions on whether it is a mere document reproducing an artwork. That is the nuance I was trying to point at.
Also, I am not comfortable with the jabbing that goes on in these threads. Email has become a nuisance since half of the comments consist of taking digs at each other. Why can't we all just be pleasant and informative? Yours sincerely Noopur

Noopur, please clarify about the difference between a camera photograph and a scanned photograph. I am not clear how a photograph automatically gains the status of a work of art, unless this is a legal definition and is not meant to be analysed from an 'artistic' point of view.

Hello,
Do we have an official contact with the National Museum, New Delhi?
There are interesting documents there which could add valuable information to Wikipedia and Commons, but they are copyrighted. Could we get a permission?
In addition, I need some help for identifying some images:
