Yes, with a "publication" date of 1893, it's fine for LV / the US.
It's fine for you too, since Munch died in 1944, that's more than 70 years ago.

Lion - please remember to add the date (YYMM) to the file names as noted in the first post. I added them to these files.

Thanks, I certainly will add the date in the future but I'm confused about which date? The audiobook catalog date? Or the current year?

Today's month/year regardless of catalog date is fine, but it doesn't matter terribly much. It's to differentiate it from any other covers with the same name in other projects, and chances are that there won't be another in either of the two months.

I will remember. Thanks Tricia

Thank you very much Availle for the reply.

I will proceed with the use of that image for the cover.

Kind regards,

Hi!

I have volunteered to make the cover of Espectros by Henrik Ibsen (In original Swedish Gengangere, in English Ghosts-there is already a librivox version-). The narrator Epachuko has suggested to me to use for the cover the famous painting The Scream by Edvard Munch. Munch died in 1944. The reproduction I intend to use is in wikimedia commons here:

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Edvard_Munch,_1893,_The_Scream,_oil,_tempera_and_pastel_on_cardboard,_91_x_73_cm,_National_Gallery_of_Norway.jpg

Is is stated there that
"This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1925. "

Therefore it looks that it is ok.

Can I use safely this image?

I would very much appreciate views on this

Regards

Basquetteur

I am not sure who I should be talking to but I am wondering when the visual for my Captain Scott audiobook is likely to be finished? Forgive me if this sounds impertinent I am not sure of the exact process for this stage, but just hoping I can launch my book with family and friends etc around Christmas/New Year if that is possible....

heyho,

in case this collection has a covermaker, i'm sure it gets noticed.
anyways:
Short Science Fiction Collection 073 is not grouped, yet.

I'm giving someone else a chance before I claim this cover. They are not actually considered a "collection" as far as covers go, and I don't want to hog them all.

The book was catalogued on December 1st, https://librivox.org/journals-of-robert-scott-vol1-ver2/, but I don't see the title on the cover claims board (where we pick up projects that need to have covers made). One of our admins will need to check this out. We try to get covers made within 2 weeks, so yours should be available in time for Christmas.

It's on the claims board (twice, in fact, because the title changed after cataloging). Availle is the claimant.

We do suggest a 2-week deadline, but it it certainly nice when it's done earlier than that.

The word I use to describe things like the short poetry covers is "series" just so words like "groups" which we use around here in a different connotation don't cause misunderstandings
