Talk:Shah Jehan Table-Cut
Pictures
Alain: This diamond really needs pictures. I especially would like to include the painting that hangs in the V&A museum of Shah Jehan holding the diamond. At the risk of sounding stupid, I just don't understand how we get permission to use the pictures. I've done quite a bit of surfing looking for copyright-free images to use and have not found anything I like for any of my stories. The Associated Press archive has some great ones, but they charge for their use. This week the Wittlesbach was on every news-site and in every paper with great pix... how do I get permission to use them? I really don't think they want to pay me to bumble around looking for what I need. What do you suggest? Can someone be in charge of finding pictures and getting permission? It doesn't seem like a good use of my time until someone can put me on the fast track of how to accomplish this. Let me know what you think.

- Mary, I've looked into that a while back when I needed an image from the V&A Museum.
