I see a 1919 deathdate, that's not more than a hundred years ago... Sherurcij (talk) (Terrorist Wikiproject) 04:39, 12 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Wikimedia Commons gives a proper license. Let's leave it like this for now and delete the image when it's no longer needed for the main page. Jobjörn 19:00, 12 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Question: Copied art? edit

It appears that Ernst Haeckel's (5) Rhacophorus pardalis (Wallace) frog was copied from an earlier work done by Alfred Russel Wallace, as also noted in discussion here:[[1]] Under 'Frog Image'. My question is, at that time, did it violate a copyright? DiligentPen (talk) 10:58, 2 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
