rights: Sherman was a clerk at Ellis Island. It appears that the photos he took were not part of his official duties, but were more of a hobby. Some were published in National Geographic in 1907, but there's no evidence that they were published with his permission. These photos have been broadly distributed without complaint. Sherman died in 1925. Therefore, NYPL can treat these as if they were in the public domain.

extent: 27 photographs ; print size: 9 x 7 in. (22.9 x 17.8 cm) mat / mount: 14 x 17 in. (35.6 x 43.2 cm)

rights:
Photographs may have been taken as part of the 1898 Indian Congress, held in conjunction with the Trans-Mississippi and International Exposition. Rinehart was commissioned to photograph the event and the Native American personalities who attended it. Although there is no evidence of an authorized publication of the photos before 1923, other institutions have posted the images online with no known copyright restrictions listed, most notably the Boston Public Library: https://secure.flickr.com/photos/boston_public_library/sets/72157622672603941/?rb=1. This along with the date of creation of the photos, a presumed public domain status can be reasonably inferred.

Of the 27 items included in this collection (taken by Frank Rinehart), all were taken in 1898 (over 100 years ago) and do not depict children. Therefore no right of publicity issues are present.

text: Title devised by cataloger. Figures probably after Il callotto resuscitato, oder, Neu eingerichtes Zwerchen Cabinet, [1715?]. Many of the same groupings of characters appear in The humours of the Lilliputians ... , Printed and sold by John Bowles at the Black Horse in Cornhill, [178-?]. Each character is named, some with references to literature or folklore, most with names consisting of puns such as Swillgut Bacon-face, Mrs. Dorothy Dandle-puppy, Widow, and Pigtail Modish, Esqr.  Dwarf-like figures in groups of three, with four lines of dialogue in verse beneath each figure describing the action in the image.  Situations depicted include courtship and adultery, a swordfight, a trial of a woman accused of prostitution who claims to have been raped, a pastoral scene with shepherds and shepherdesses, pilgrims discussing indulgences, a ships captain, a planter from Virginia and a Dutch Indies Governor, men who have been impressed into the army training, cavaliers and courtiers, Polly Peachum and Capt. Mackheath, actors and mimes, servants, a  beadle, and a rag man; includes some figures smoking pipes.
