Answers to Module 7 Questions edit
I have uploaded an image of the memorial statue to Peter Nicol Russell onto Wikimedia Commons. It is a figure that was presented to the University of Sydney by Russell's wife, Dame Charlotte Russell, on 23 June 1909, roughly 4 years after Russell's death.
The image is my own work, although it is a photograph of another's work. Given that the statue was created in or before 1909, the work is no longer under copyright.
The file format is a photograph JPEG (.jpg file extension).
I have decided to upload the image with a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International licence.
I have added it to the following categories: Peter Nicol Russell, University of Sydney, and Memorial.
The file has been described as follows:
Memorial Statue for Sir Peter Nicol Russell located adjacent to the School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and the PNR Building at the University of Sydney
