[edit] Illustrations

Hey, Diedrich, thank's for adding the illustrations to Egyptomania! Are you sure the illustration from the mural is not copyrighted? One may have to check the Prints and Photographs division of the Library of Congress for information on that. One should be able to retrieve a better copy of the image from the Library of Congress: [1]. The copyright is from before 1900, so seems to be expired.

Hi Jottce, as you said yourself, the copyright has long expired and taking a photograph does not entitle you to a copyright of your own, by German laws, that is... and as far as I understand it. For the US the "Fair Use" laws should apply, though I'm not really sure about that either. That's why I've set the license info to 'I don't know' so a Wikipedia editor will look over this.
