This comes from the back cover of a DVD I made about the Stone Arch Bridge. It was created by me with public domain photos (from the 1880s) that I obtained from the Minnesota Historical Society. I was given permission by the MHS to use them on my DVD cover. You certainly have my permission to use the photo montage on Wikipedia. Ray Lowry Ray Lowry 01:23, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

The images need proper sources so that it can be verified that they indeed are from the 1880s. Also, if the DVD was published before 2003, and the images weren't published before they were published on the DVD backcover, then the images are unfree until the end of 2047, per Commons:COM:HIRTLE. --Stefan2 (talk) 14:03, 25 December 2013 (UTC)
