[edit] Image Copyright

Still not resolved against future deletion! --Ludvikus 20:40, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Did you scan it (the picture of young Nesta Bevan) yourself, or just downloaded it from somewhere. As the Grand Lodge website says, it is from "Spacious Days; an autobiography" -- she is sitting on a stone balcony, wearing a long white dress; she is slim, very slim, fragile. The book and picture is out of copyright, but courtesy would dictate to cite source ....

I got it off the Web. I'm not as familiar yet with the complex Wiki copyright Labeling rules. But I can tell whether or not something has a valid copyright, or if there's the possibility of Fair use. I used Google's image searcg and that's how I got it. I don't think I even changed the name. So you can confirm the image's identity. Otherwise, could you edit the Image page accordingly? Thanks. --Ludvikus 10:53, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Here's

    education@freemasonry.bcy.ca

the email of the Freemansory lodge which posts the image on the Web. Can anyone make the appropriate inquery as to the copyright of the Nesta posted image(s)? Ludvikus 11:25, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

If you want, you may write to the Grand Lodge, they are very polite people ...
"Detail from a photograph of Nesta Bevan at age 22, reproduced from Spacious Days; an autobiography. Nesta H. Webster. London: Hutchinson & Co., 1949."--http://freemasonry.bcy.ca/anti-masonry/webster_career.html#3
Or you may just take my word for it that the picture is from "Spacious Days". I have held the book in my hand and scanned the picture myself. It is 'fair use'. On the internet the source of the picture is the Grand Lodge site (ttp://freemasonry.bcy.ca/anti-masonry/webster_n02.jpg) -- and yours and Google's is from there as the name shows --; or my site (ttp://www.yamaguchy.netfirms.com/7897401/webster/webster_22.jpg)
