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.
