Herald’s illustrations are our own. Some chapters also show real photographs, paintings and documents made by other people, most shared under Creative Commons licences and some in the public domain. Here they are, story by story.
How we use them
- Each line names the work, who made it and its licence. The title opens the original, and the licence opens its terms.
- Herald crops these images and colour-grades them to match its pages. Our adaptations of CC BY-SA images are shared under the same licence as the original.
- We credit public domain images too, as the archives that keep them ask.
- Missing or wrong credit? Write to support@readherald.com and we’ll fix it.
