• Portrait of Charles de Gaulle, used in European Theatre of World War II.
• Please contact the uploader, User:J.J., in case it has to be deleted.
  • Appears to be a cropped version of image on [1]. Similar version also here. The former has some text at the bottom that may help with copyright info, but it's too low resolution for me to be able to read it - Estel (talk) 19:16, Mar 8, 2005 (UTC)
  • From what I understand, this site claims the image is from the book C'etait de Gualle by Alain Peyrefitte, latest edition was in 2000. Not certain if that really is what the first site is implying, though, and have no idea where Peyrefitte got the image from. I've found scores of copies on the net, so tracking down the original will be difficult. — Asbestos | Talk 15:56, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Maybe [2] will provide a clue? But then again, maybe he only had one hat. --MaxPower 17:54, 2005 Mar 9 (UTC)
    • The photographer (Howard Costew) has what appears to be a British name and if this is a WW2 picture, is it old enough to be public domain in British copyright law? de Gaulle stayed in Britain during WW2. Thuresson 05:14, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • Good find, certainly the same sitting (you can click "next" on the link). The photographer is Howard Coster, died 1959, took photographs mainly in the 1930s. Here is a huge database of his photos, I'm pretty sure the listing would have been one of these (now missing), which give the date as 1940. — Asbestos | Talk 13:49, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)

  • • • English law in photographs before 1945 is complex, we would have to decide if the image was protected in another EEA country in 1994. [3]. This tends to lead to the belief that it is copyrighted. -- Fair use for this. — Zeimusu | Talk 00:24, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)
