Summary

Statue of James Henry Greathead, railway engineer at grid reference TQ327811 in Cornhill, London, EC3. The Royal Exchange is in the background and Bank tube station is behind the photographer.

Recognition of Greathead's contribution to London (and tunnelling in general) came rather late: this bronze statue was only unveiled on 17 January 1994. It is 10 feet high and is by James Butler, RA. The plinth on which it stands is in fact a ventilation shaft for the Northern Line beneath it. The shield on the plinth is that of the City and South London Railway which became the Northern Line.

The photographic reproduction of this work is covered under United Kingdom law (Section 62 of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988), which states that it is not an infringement to take photographs of buildings, or of sculptures, models for buildings, or works of artistic craftsmanship permanently located in a public place or in premises open to the public. This does not apply to two-dimensional graphic works such as posters or murals.

This work might not be available under a free license in the United States because it is based on an artwork or sculpture that may be protected by copyright under U.S. law. (Commons is hosted in the United States and as such, U.S. law is applicable.) In the source country of the artwork or sculpture, taking photographs of such works permanently located in a public place does not generally infringe on their copyright, under a principle known as "freedom of panorama". In U.S. law, there is no freedom of panorama for artwork or sculptures, and under the choice-of-law principle lex loci protectionis, U.S. courts might apply U.S. freedom of panorama standards to this work, rather than the standards of the source country. However, in practice, it is unsettled whether and how this approach would be applied in real-world U.S. legal cases involving freedom of panorama elements. The current policy on Commons is to accept photos of artwork and sculptures that are covered by freedom of panorama in their source country. This policy may change in the future, depending on the outcome of community discussions and new case law. This is not a valid license tag on Commons; this file must be usable under freedom of panorama in its source country or it will be deleted. català ∙ Deutsch ∙ English ∙ español ∙ français ∙ italiano ∙ português ∙ português do Brasil ∙ sicilianu ∙ македонски ∙ 한국어 ∙ 日本語 ∙ 简体中文 ∙ 繁體中文 ∙ +/−
