::Unfortunately, despite a diligent search, I have not been able to verify the copyright status of either image. Both were taken around 1870 (roughly 140 years ago) and both are widely distributed on the Internet. However, it is conceivable that the original photographer died less than 70 years ago, or that the photographs themselves were not published until more recently. I found a [http://www.annales.org/archives/x/lame.html#discours similar image of Lamé published in 1897], but the Ecole polytechnique [http://www.annales.org/archives/images/x/ asserts its unrestricted copyrights]. I found an alternative photograph of Dedekind published in 1930 in Braunschweig as part of his ''Collected Works''; however, I cannot verify that it is out of copyright, either. I'll remove the images for now, pending a fuller investigation. They're not essential. [[User:Proteins|Proteins]] ([[User talk:Proteins|talk]]) 02:45, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

:::Ah, good news! We can use the Lame picture from 1897 then. It doesn't matter if Ecole Polytechnique claims copyright; US copyright law is what Wikipedia requires us to follow and that means the picture is considered in the public ___domain in the US (see [[Wikipedia:Public_domain]]). --[[User:C S|C S]] ([[User talk:C S|talk]]) 04:42, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
