Reproducing images from our collection
You need permission to reproduce our images.
Here's how to apply for a licence (it's easy):

• Tell us which pictures you would like to use (please provide the NPG registry number - if you are not sure, please use the search facility at www.npg.org.uk/live/search/).
• Tell us about your project (is it a book/magazine/video/TV programme...?).
• Tell us how widely it will be distributed (USA only/EC only/Worldwide...).
• Tell us which languages it will be translated into.
• Tell us how many (copies/transmissions) you need to clear rights for.
• Describe exactly how you would like to use each picture (100 x 80mm b/w wine label; 1/4-, 1/2-page inside colour book illustration; title sequence of feature film, full screen, 12 seconds; etc)

Why not send your application now, by e-mail to picturelibrary@npg.org.uk - don't forget to let us know about your deadline and tell us your street address!

• We will then reply and let you know how much it is going to cost.
• If you confirm you order in writing and return it to us with full payment, we will fulfil your order as quickly as possible and supply the images with a licence to use them in your project.
• The specific terms of the licence are set out in the invoice (you'll need to get further permission if you want to use the images in any other way) while the general terms are spelt out carefully in our terms & conditions.
• Once you have returned any hired transparencies safely, we may raise a final invoice to cover any outstanding hire fees. As soon as the fees have been paid, the job is complete!

If you would like more information or would prefer to fill in a more detailed application form, please contact us at picturelibrary@npg.org.uk.
