use"): Permitted;
subject to P&P policy on copying which prohibits xeroxing of the original

Although the title page states "All Rights
Reserved," the Library has been unable to ascertain who owns the rights to these
images. Commerce Graphics asserts that it holds Berenice Abbott's copyrights,
but they do not claim the rights for this portfolio. The Museum of Modern Art,
which owns Atget's negatives, reports that Atget had no heirs and believes that
any rights may have expired.
