I'm working on an illustrated version of The Woman in White - the illustrations come from the serialised version in Harper's Weekly. The gentleman who has produced the jpeg versions of the illustrations says, quite reasonably I think, that though the original engravings are in the public domain the jpegs he has made of them are copyright. He's given me permission to use them for the MobileRead Forum, but has asked that a link be given to his site.
I guess this is analogous to Harry's mention of typographical copyright.
Regards, Alex
