A Dane in Australia
I have been working on a biography of the Danish-born Greta Hort who developed close associations with Australia. The portrait I have included is not very flattering. As I am not very familiar with copyright in Australia, I was wondering, Oronsay, whether you think the photo in this biography could be added to Commons in view of its age. It seems to be the basis of the portrait unveiled at University College in 2017.--Ipigott (talk) 11:08, 6 November 2022 (UTC)


 * @Ipigott: I have sent you an email about images I've found. Oronsay (talk) 20:15, 6 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your rapid and helpful response.--Ipigott (talk) 09:35, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Very happy to collaborate with you on this bio of such an interesting woman. Lucky it was yesterday, as Trove is down this morning. Oronsay (talk) 17:38, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
