The process of obtaining permission to use digital images for an educational, non-commercial project is time-consuming and sometimes expensive.

We have made every effort, in good faith, to locate the owners of the image licenses for the paintings on display in 1884 At the Whitechapel Exhibition. In many cases, museums, galleries, and organizations have been willing to grant permission for the use of digital images without a fee under a creative commons or public domain license. In some cases, we have had to pay a license fee for the use of digital images.

All the images are credited with details of the license.

The six types of Creative Commons licenses, each with its own set of permission, are listed below.

Types of Creative Commons License

Attribution (CC BY)
This license lets you distribute, remix, tweak, and build upon the image, even commercially, as long as you credit the creators of the artwork and the image. This is the most accommodating of licenses offered.

Attribution-ShareAlike (CC BY-SA)
This license lets you remix, tweak, and build upon the image, even for commercial purposes, as long as you credit the original creators of the artwork and the image. All new works based on the original image must carry the same license, so any derivatives will also allow commercial use.

Attribution-NoDerivs (CC BY-ND)
This license allows for redistribution of the image, commercial and non-commercial, as long as it is passed along unchanged and in whole, with credit to the creators.

Attribution-NonCommercial (CC BY-NC)
This license lets you remix, tweak, and build upon the image non-commercially, and although the new works must also acknowledge the original creator and be non-commercial, you don’t have to license the derivative works on the same terms as this license.

Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike (CC BY-NC-SA)
This license lets you remix, tweak, and build upon the image non-commercially, as long as you credit the original creators and license your new creations under the identical terms of this license.

Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs (CC BY-NC-ND)
This license is the most restrictive of the six main licenses. You are permitted to download the image and share it with others as long as you credit the artist and photographer of the artwork, but you can’t change the image in any way or use it commercially.
