Btw, I noticed recently that two of my PD-self
pictures representing the
statue known as the Leaning Satyr were reused in _Praxiteles_ by Jackie
Pigeaud, a book published at the same time as the big exhibition held at
the Louvre about this sculptor.
What puzzles me is that credits (name of photograph and agency) are
given at the end of the book for all pictures save two series, one of
which concerns the Leaning Satyr. The credit line just mentions "droits
réservés", i.e "some rights reserved", without any name. I'm pretty
sure
those are my pictures, though. I don't care not being mentioned, but I'm
rather surprised by the "some rights reserved" line. Should I write to
inquire about it?
Oh yes!
The Louvre has been way too nasty about pictures lately to let
anything that has brought them any kind of fame/money/whatever at the
expense of Wikimedia unnoticed.
Please, do write a letter to enquire what happened to this. This could
be a very very important lobby point to raise when we need access to
things that are "public domain" and yet under many closed doors.
