Is this image usable since it was published over 100 years ago? http://www.harpweek.com/09Cartoon/BrowseByDateCartoon.asp?Month=November&Date=29 -- it mentions Floyd in the cartoon --plange 02:57, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

The standard is that the author or artist died 100 years ago, not its publication. There is an alternative public domain status that occurs for works that were published before 1923 in the United States. But you also have to determine that the website that you wish to extract it from has not claimed a copyright on it due to such factors as special cropping or photo correcting. In general, the safest way to get Civil War illustrations from the Internet is from the Library of Congress or the National Archives. Hal Jespersen 14:27, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
