Summary

"U.S. Copyright Renewals: Artwork 1951–1959" by Library of Congress, Copyright Office is a mid-20th-century guide that records the renewal of copyrights for many artistic creations, like illustrations and prints, under U.S. law during those years. The catalog, arranged by year and broken into two parts within the year, offers organized listings, which could be valuable for anyone studying copyright law, art history, or legal details about artistic ownership. Each listing includes details like titles, authors, registration numbers, and copyright information. The early part of the catalog emphasizes key listings from the first half of 1951, highlighting artworks by companies like the American Bank Note Company alongside religious art. Its structure allows researchers, artists, and legal experts to easily find and learn about copyrighted works from that time.
