Encyclopedia Design makes selective use of images licensed through Getty Images to support accurate visual documentation of design, architecture, material culture, and historical figures. Getty Images provides access to professionally curated, rights-managed visual material that is often unavailable through public domain or open-access collections.
We use Getty Images where:
- No equivalent public-domain or museum-released images exist
- The subject requires precise historical or material accuracy
- Image quality, provenance, and caption integrity are essential
All Getty Images used on this site are embedded or licensed in accordance with Getty Images’ terms of use. Copyright remains with the respective rights holders. Images are used strictly for editorial, educational, and reference purposes, not for commercial resale or product endorsement.
Wherever possible, we prioritise images from museums, archives, and public-domain sources. Getty Images is used only when it represents the most responsible and accurate option for visual scholarship.
