I stumbled across an interesting article on copyright while looking at this fabulous website of antique Valentine cards. It makes clear exactly why copying something old may not keep the lawyers from your door and shows several ways how something that seems ok, might not be. There's very useful information in clear language here, but always consult a lawyer who specializes in copyright before you do something that could well bring you to court.
