State of Play - chasing the copyrights!

As is the problem when using historical photographs, invariably the copyright belongs to someone else! With copyright laws curently being what they are I have found the images that we want to use and am currently chasing up if they are copyrighted, if they are by who, and if they would be willing to let us use them (preferably for free as we have a very small budget!) Unfortunately it looks like a rethink is in order for the dance scene as the images that we were hoping to use are copyrighted and, while one copyright owner I have been unable to hunt up the contact details for, the other would like to charge us £200 for its use and with a limited budget this is not affordable!
 
With this in mind I have had a rethink and am going to try creating an image for it using a style of image used commonly during the war for posters and postcards when photographs were not used in the hopes that this will achieve the same look that we are after.
