Nice real-life Matchbox scene, busses, ambulance

Post by SportWagon »

Copyright seems to apply, so I'll just direct you to this real-life 1968 London scene which I happened across while searching for other stuff. The ambulance especially stood out among the image gallery Google presented.

If someone else deems it would be okay to inline the picture, go ahead.

Image does have an "embed" link, with "no commercial purposes" terms-of-use. Oh, and detailed terms are even more confusing; content is intended for Getty Image customers only.

When I click certain links, I get a price tag of $575CAD. So I guess it's pretty commercial and is likely rigged not to inline. But it's a very nice picture, I think.

Getty Images are a professional supplier of photographes, Videos and Audios to the commercial corporations who rely on 'Stock Photos' to help illustrate activities and service providers in the media.

All the images you see on their wensite display the 'Getty Images' watermark to hinder copying of the images, so as a professional or commercial operator and you see a picture or pictures you can use in a book, magazine or website feature, you can buy a lisense allowing you to have a certain level of editorial control.

They have in the past tried to take picture infringement cases to court and have not always won their case. They have also been critisised for sending out quite hefty pricing demands for pictures in use from their library, so you did the right thing here by just linking to the picture and not actually copying and posting it here, phew!
