Rules for the use of illustrations and text

You are on this page of rules of use, common to the three sites I have developed: Traces humaines, Visites photographiques and Incertitudes photographiques.

These three sites are made up of my own photographs and commentaries as well as illustrations and texts in the public domain.

All this content is under copyright. In the usual way for all my own work, and just as much for the engravings reproduced, because they are first corrected for any defects due to ageing or the original printing, and for the texts because they are transcribed, reread, corrected for any typing errors, and reformatted for publication on the internet.

General principle: If you wish to use any of the photographs, engravings or texts published on my sites, and if the use you wish to make of them is not for commercial purposes, you may :

Reproduce them free of charge as they appear on your site, on the express condition that you indicate the copyright and place a link pointing to the original site or page.
(as below, for example)
NPousseur.

If you would like to use one of these reproductions in a non-commercial publication, such as an academic study, or for restricted local distribution, please contact us via the e-mail address of the site concerned. In most cases, the provision of files for printing will be free of charge.

If you wish to use the reproductions or photos on a website (or other medium) for commercial purposes, please contact me, indicating the references you are interested in.
The prices charged will be more or less those of the market, with the notable difference, as far as the engravings are concerned, that each of them is corrected for printing or ageing defects.

Please note : The engravings and texts reproduced on my sites are taken from works that have fallen into the public domain (70 years after the author's death) and all of this data is taken from works that I have acquired (with the rare exceptions indicated).
Insofar as these reproductions have benefited from various treatments to improve their appearance, and that the texts are all retranscribed with manual corrections (and not simply scanned), they are under copyright and may only be freely re-used in a strictly non-commercial context.

The reprographics presented on my sites were mainly produced from digital images taken either with a professional scanner (Microtek i900), then with a Canon 5D Mark2 (21 million pixels), then from 2016 with a Canon 5DS-R in 50 million pixels.
As for my own photos, they were taken with a Rollei SL66, then with various digital cameras, from 3 to 10 million pixels, and more recently with the 2 types of Canon camera mentioned above.

All reproductions of prints are available, on request, at least in their original format, often with the option of enlarging them to 50x60cm or more if required.

The yellow "Copyright" logo indicates that I have registered all my sites with the above-mentioned copyright protection service.

Copyright registration to prevent any commercial use of the photographs, texts and/or reproductions published on this site

NB : if you notice reproductions or texts on my sites that you think are not in the public domain, please let me know (it would then be an error on my part...).
