Copyright and DMCA

Last updated 2026-09-18

Short version. Every image we sell is a restored scan of a work we believe to be in the public domain, published by a public archive that states the scan is free to reuse. The archive and its item record are named on every product page. If you believe we have got one wrong, tell us and we will take it down while we look — we would rather lose a listing than argue about one.

How we source

We work only from items published by public institutions — the Library of Congress, NOAA, the US Geological Survey, the Boston Public Library’s Leventhal Center, the Rijksmuseum, the Cleveland Museum of Art and similar — where the institution’s own record states the scan may be reused, and where the underlying work was published early enough to be out of copyright in the United States. We record that record on the product page so you can check it yourself. Copyright terms differ by country; a work that is public domain in the US may not be everywhere.

We do not sell originals, we do not claim to, and we do not reproduce any work by a living artist.

Send it to info@antiquemapprints.com with the subject line DMCA notice, or by post to the address in the footer, addressed to the Copyright Agent.

Under 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3) your notice must include all of the following, or we cannot act on it:

  1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner, or of someone authorised to act for them.
  2. Identification of the work you say is infringed.
  3. The URL of the page on this site you want removed, specifically enough that we can find it.
  4. Your address, telephone number and email address.
  5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorised by the owner, its agent, or the law.
  6. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorised to act for them.

We will remove or disable the material promptly on a complete notice, and tell whoever supplied it.

Counter-notice

If your material was removed and you believe that was a mistake or a misidentification, send a counter-notice to the same address with: your signature; identification of what was removed and where it appeared; a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief it was removed by mistake or misidentification; and your name, address and telephone number, with consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for that address and acceptance of service from the complaining party. We may restore the material in 10 to 14 business days unless the complaining party files a court action.

Misrepresentation

Section 512(f) makes anyone who knowingly misrepresents that material is infringing — or that it was removed by mistake — liable for damages, including costs and fees.

Repeat infringers

We terminate the accounts of repeat infringers where we have any, and we remove any source from our catalogue whose rights record turns out to be wrong.
