@AmiNumerique @BranaaJean En principe non, seules les photos du gouvernement fédéral US appartiennent au domaine public. Donc en principe, le Département du Shérif du Comté de Fulton pourrait porter plainte, mais il y a peu de chances qu'il le fasse.

Managed to catch @britishmuseum's #ChinasHiddenCentury exhibition. Very nice to see Qing-era uniforms and equipment. Of particular historical interest is a letter by Joseph Edkins hand-annotated by Taiping leader Hong Xiuquan.
