<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Batman_2000, post: 274495, member: 481&quot;]Hi, it&#039;s a while since I last posted, where does the time go???!</p><p><br /></p><p>I bought a bunch of ephemera off flea-bay, including a dozen or so type written pages - one is dated 1920 and a few others have the name of the author/signature. They were written by English author James Reginald Wilmot, who also used the pseudonym Ralph Trevor. I&#039;ve found some information about him on the web. He died 1944.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as I can tell, these pages are unpublished. I&#039;d like to share them.... but as far as I can make out, under UK law they are still in copyright until 2039?! Is this correct??? I&#039;ve been referring to the flow chart towards the end of this document... <a href="http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documents/information-management/copyright-related-rights.pdf" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documents/information-management/copyright-related-rights.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documents/information-management/copyright-related-rights.pdf</a></p><p><br /></p><p>So, is there anything I can do with them, apart from file them and wait? Thing is, the seller on eBay took fairly clear photos of them, so wouldn&#039;t that have counted as &#039;publication&#039;? Am I just worrying too much?</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s a (hopefully allowable!) photo I&#039;ve taken. The postcard has &#039;Hungarian Frontier&#039; written on the back, and has a &#039;K Ltd&#039; stamp box dating it to around 1918 - 1936:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]87121[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
