It's particularly humorous when someone asserts copyright on vintage images given the fact that no such copyright exists.

It's my understanding that the requirements for asserting a new copyright require "significant" change, not
just rendering in a different medium.

I don't really see any problem with what Craig is doing. He hasn't asserted new copyright over the image. He's just stated they "are from the collection of ..." The original copyright has presumably expired, and he's acquired the photos legitimately, and he's hopes to sell them to interested parties after investing time and money to restore them.

He has a copyright © and year on every image on his first page. I didn't go beyond that.

Here's a neat photo from WWI

[Robert Langham]

I love old photos. These were cheap off Ebay. I use them teaching and just enjoy having them. Several framed around the house.

"weather" editorial shot for a Chicago paper. Looks like Cartier-Bresson.

First old photo I ever bought. 1932, with manual photoshop- they just painted the background and enhanced some lines for newspaper publication. It's an original angry bird!
