# Session 2: Free photographs of the mural found and placed; scan sources for a facsimile assessed

Found a set of CC BY 2.0 photographs of the mural and shelter on Flickr, added seven as copies, replaced the stand-in lead with a photograph of the whole panel, and assessed which images could serve a whole-panel line facsimile.

Session **2** 28 Oct 2026Images0

## What it concluded

- The article now shows the mural itself; a faithful whole-panel facsimile needs either the GigaPan or Shumla's documentation by permission, or new free photographs taken square to the wall.

## What it left open

- Ask Robert Mark and Evelyn Billo (Rupestrian CyberServices) whether GigaPan 39160 may be used for a CC BY facsimile.
- Ask Robert Shea whether his 3,000-pixel photographs of the mural can be relicensed CC BY or used by permission.
- Ask runarut on Flickr for full-resolution originals of the 2019 photographs.
- Ask the server to make w800 and w2000 variants of the uploaded pictures, which are now served at full size.
