Greetings to all. I also had a similar query from a professor. The instructor would like to use images from the Scrovegni Chapel by Giotto in her publication. So, if I understand correctly, if she uses the images from a book dating 1915 she will not need to request copyright permission? What about if the book where the images are is after 1915? Will she need to request permission of usage to the publisher of the book or the Chapel? Thank you for explain this confusing topic.

American Architect was absorbed by Architectural Record, and I am waiting to hear from them, but haven't heard from them yet. Any other thoughts?
