Thanks Ted,
I didn't actually make the purchase...that was my failed attempt at humor.
I believe that photo is in the public domain so it's a free for all.

It was interesting that it was being sold on the net for that price.:smile:

You can find alot of them actually. Older photos such as Civil War and the like...some will take them out of public domain and claim to reproduce them on "museum quality paper" whatever that is. If you read the Amazon page it actually gives the source of the photo and passage as the Library of Congrees. So basically they are taking what is free to all and trying to make a buck off it by getting someone unsuspecting to buy it.
