More pretty pictures
Finally, the books I ordered from Poland have started to arrive. Great stuff on the history of artillery and some books for future projects, but it also included post cards I can use as illustrations. Interesting thing about using pictures - if there are paintings over a certain age they are public domain, but you can't use a photo of say a rifle without permission of the photographer. All makes sense, but you don't appreciate some of the nuances until you get into it. I've also had a devil of a time with illustrations with some books from the communist era - many of the publishers don't exist and the rights of some pictures have either lapsed or trying to track down the artists leads to blind alleys. Luckily I have a good deal of great pictures and artifacts I've collected here and there that suddenly fit together on this project.
