Dear Anthony,My limited understanding of Indian copyright law is that copyright expires either sixty years after the death of the author or sixty years after the publication of a work if it is published posthumously or if it is a photograph.So it would seem to be fine to re-use by either reckoning.Best,Venetia--On Sat, Nov 5, 2011 at 3:05 AM, A.Cerulli <acerulli@aya.yale.edu> wrote:
Dear Colleagues,
I am trying to check on permissions for an image (a black & white drawing) I'd like to reprint that came out in an edition of the Caraka Samhita with Shri Venkateshwar Press in 1898.I wrote to the press using an online contact form at the Khemraj Shrikrishnadass website, but received no response.
Does anyone on the list have a contact at this press who might be able to help me?
Also, re copyright laws, does anyone know if after a certain number of years an image in a book becomes part of the public domain?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
All the best,
