My wife recently made a trip the a photo shop and asked to have a photo of a
post card made.  She was informed that it is illegal to copy a post card
without an ok from the photo studio.  Since the post card was taken about 1910
it is unlikely that there still is anyone around to ask.  I know that the
copyright laws on books are only good for 56 years.  Does anyone know what is
legal on postcards?

Thanks
