Description: Title page of lawton R. Kennedy's 1935 reprint of Rufus Porter's 1849 pamphlet Aerial Navigation:..., H. Smith Publisher, New York 1849. Immediate image source: [1]. See also [2]. Lupo 07:42, 20 March 2006 (UTC) Since this 1935 reprint seems to have been a 100% truthful facsimile reproduction of the 1849 original (the image even shows the year 1849 as the publication date), I don't think it would be copyrightable in its own right.
