Digital BW, The Print

Actually, Paul, I believe photographs in the public domain can be sold 
by you and me.  I'm not a lawyer, but a few years ago I did some 
research,
and downloaded some FSA photos for me to sell. Some of the FSA shots, 
like Arthur Rothstein's Dust Bowl photo, were removed from the public 
domain
by the photographers (not sure how they did that), but the vast 
majority are available.  Getting ahold of a high resolution file is 
more difficult, because
most of them were not scanned  high res. I seem to remember reading 
that the work from negatives larger than 35 mm was copied to 35mm, and 
then scanned. You can imagine how poor a lot of them are!
