Alan,
You should know better...!  -:))
Anything that one puts on WWW becomes public domain,
whether ones likes it or not...  <grrrrrrrrrrrrr...>

I've got quite a few "found" pictures also, coming from a 20lbs lot
which I bought on eBay some three years ago.  There was a mixture of
things, some good, some bad, from a variety of sources.

The best was a picture of Stalin, Truman and Attlee with their advisors
at the Postdam conference.  I'm not sure who did it and whether I can
sell it (do I own the copyright after almost 60 years?).  Included in
that group was also a series of pictures at the Roosevelt funerals, a
rather nice picture of Lord Mountbatten with Bevin and someone who might
be Sergo Beria.  There was also a great picture of a scientific with a
lot of mathematicl formulae on a blackboard in the back who'se name I
still have not been able to determine.  All by the same photographer,
obviously an american photojournalist.
I'm still wondering where I can unload these at a fair price...  -:))

I've also got a few wonderful pictures coming from old unprocessed films
in various ancient cameras I bought, including a very faint picture of a
TV screen showing Neil Armstrong walking on the moon, coming from a
Russian camera...  What interesting speculations can be made on this and
the other cameras (and their owners) as to why the films were never
completed and processed.

Someday, if I ever find the time, I'll try to do something with all
these pictures.

Best,

Guy
