File talk:Franklin-School-1865-Image5.jpg

The licensing seems to contradict itself here. Does the copyright belong to Minnesota Historical Society for the reproduction or is it public domain because it is a faithful photographic reproduction (slavish reproduction) of a public domain photo?

What is Wikipedia's policy on slavish copies?

Should the "copyright" be removed but Minnesota Historic Society's collection still credited as holding the original?
