Legal Question


I own thousands of pre-1900 vintage photographs that I purchased on sites like eBay, antique stores, etc. I make high quality scans of these photos and sell access to my website and the scans. Am I the copyright owner of these scans? Can I legally prevent somebody from republishing them, or are they public domain, even though I own the original and created the scan?
