Hi,
I would like to use the picture for this title “1500 – Book of Hours by Jean Poyer, known as The Hours of Henry VIII – St. Nicholas: NIcholas Giving Gold to the Three Maidens” for one of our broadcast productions. Do I need to acquire any licenses or copyright to use the picture? If so, can someone please help me with that? I would truly appreciate it.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

  Hi, thanks for your question. I can’t really advise on copyright law. My understanding is that generally images of that age should be a commons license and if you acknowledge the source you obtained it from, you should be fine for non-commercial purposes. But that’s just my understanding – I’m not an intellectual property lawyer 🙂
