Better copy of this photo
Googling around, I came across this, which appears to be a better-condition version of the same image. I found that image here. The copyright info for this bad-condition image says that it is in the public domain in the United States because it was first published prior to January 1, 1923. I wonder if that might also apply to the image I found. The image I found is smaller that this bad-condition one, but I made a local copy and resized it to 710x1024, and the resized image still looks OK&mdash;certainly better than the bad-condition one. Would it be useful for me to upload my resized image or would my limited understanding of copyright issues make this a waste of time? (A response at my Wikipedia talk page would be most useful, but I'll probably check back here if I see no response there) Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 02:26, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

(update) I've uploaded the resized copy of the image I found to Commons. It is at File:Henry Clay Ide 710x1024.jpg. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 00:05, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
