And there was I thinking that the 50s and 60s were the nearly contemporary area where Wikipedia was at its weakest. Not old enough to be taught in the schools or new enough to be known to the technoscenti. Clearly those gaps are getting filled in.

A bit much to deduce from a single data-point still I'd tend to agree. We've also had a significant degree of success in closing the copyright gap between 1923 and around 2000 when wikipedian taken pics start to become available.
