I have been working on a biography of the Danish-born
Greta Hort who developed close associations with Australia. The portrait I have included is not very flattering. As I am not very familiar with copyright in Australia, I was wondering, Oronsay, whether you think the photo in
this biography could be added to Commons in view of its age. It seems to be the basis of the
portrait unveiled at University College in 2017.--
