As a side note, I found this record of a 1916 letter where H Symonds & Co complain about a government ban on the sale of photographs of ships during the first world war (probably as a counter measure against spying). It is probably a key reason why so many studios went out of business. It is also annecdotal evidence that most photographs produced during that time by the studios would have been commissioned by the UK government for use in propaganda. As such, we have a strong argument for Crown Copyright being in effect. From Hill To Shore (talk) 15:39, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
