- ... that Arthur and Mary Sellwood had the idea for a book on Victorian railway murders (pictured) in the 1940s but didn't write it until after a "violent incident on a night train" in the 1970s?

Article is new enough and long enough. AGFing on the sourcing as most of 'em are behind paywalls or otherwise not accessible. File:The Victorian Railway Murders.jpg, is that file by Sellwood? Because if so the licence would be incorrect. Hook is interesting and supported in article. Didn't notice any copyvio or plagiarism. QPQ is OK. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 10:00, 22 February 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks, no it's not by Sellwood. Philafrenzy (talk) 10:57, 22 February 2020 (UTC)
- Philafrenzy, the image is from the cover of a book first published in 1979. How do you know that it is reused from a public domain image rather than being a 1970s creation in Victorian style, or even an old black-and-white image subsequently colored for publication? There's nothing in the entry at Commons to indicate its source or even the original artist, just a "circa 1900" assertion. Where does the image come from?
