Yours sincerely, Cordless Larry (talk) 21:31, 11 October 2021 (UTC) It is my hope that these images can be retained and not deleted. As a new contributor to Wikimedia Commons I have tried to read through the applicable rules and I believe that these images do not violate copyright laws or Wikimedia Commons rules. In each case I personally took the photographs for these images; the photos are indeed my work. These photos are considered "derived" work under the copyright laws. In each case the original works were completed prior to the Jan 1, 1923 effective date of the copyright laws. Several of these works I personally own; for the others in each case permission of the owner was asked and given to photograph and use these images. It is my belief that these images are properly represented and described and that no rules are violated.

1) Portriat of Two Sisters 1908 is signed and dated 1908 .. the creation date of the original work is prior to the 1923 effective date of the copyright law and is, because of it's date of creation, considered "public domain"; therefore the display of an image of this painting is a derived work and does not violate the copyright rules .. this image is from a photograph that I took myself .. the photograph is "my work"

2) Portrait of Hims 1902 is signed and dated 1902 .. the creation date of the original work is prior to the 1923 effective date of the copyright law and is, because of it's date of creation, considered "public domain"; therefore the display of an image of this painting is a derived work and does not violate the copyright rules .. this image is from a photograph that I took myself .. the photograph is "my work"

3) Keewaydin Mansion.jpg is not signed and not dated .. it was executed in about 1895 .. the creation date of the original work is prior to the 1923 effective date of the copyright law and is, because of it's date of creation, considered "public domain"; therefore the display of an image of this painting is a derived work and does not violate the copyright rules .. this image is from a photograph that I took myself .. the photograph is "my work"

4) Inception of the Birth of Oregon 1923 is signed and dated 1923 .. how ever is documented to have been copyrighted as a finished work in January 6, 1920 .. the creation date of the original work is prior to the 1923 effective date of the copyright law and is, because of it's date of creation, considered "public domain"; therefore the display of an image of this painting is a derived work and does not violate the copyright rules .. this image is from a photograph that I took myself .. the photograph is "my work"

5) Blessing of the Wheat at Artois is not signed and not dated .. it was completed in 1882 .. the creation date of the original work is prior to the 1923 effective date of the copyright law and is, because of it's date of creation, considered "public domain"; therefore the display of an image of this painting is a derived work and does not violate the copyright rules .. this image is from a photograph that I took myself .. the photograph is "my work"

6) Apple Still Life with Knife is signed and dated 1902 .. the creation date of the original work is prior to the 1923 effective date of the copyright law and is, because of it's date of creation, considered "public domain"; therefore the display of an image of this painting is a derived work and does not violate the copyright rules .. this image is from a photograph that I took myself .. the photograph is "my work" Sincerely, Ted Gegoux NNYArtist .. new contributor
