Re: Matteson Scarlet Letter.jpg - public domain or not?

Hi! That source text has no basis in U.S. copyright law and I've contacted a Commons admin to get rid of that. As T. H. Matteson has been deceased for some 125 years now, the painting is in the public domain, regardless of when it was published or who owns it. Thanks for the inquiry, and feel free to contact me if you need help with anything else! east.718 at 03:31, February 28, 2008
