Feel free to use in publications and pages with attribution but you don't have permission to sell the photos themselves. A free copy of any printed publication using any photographs is requested.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

- CINCI_200629_20.JPG: The Society of the Cincinnati:
The Society of the Cincinnati was founded in 1783 by the officers of the Continental Army to perpetuate their fellowship, preserve the memory of the Revolutionary War and promote the principles for which they had fought. The society is named after Cincinnatus, a hero of the Roman Empire who refused rewards for serving his nation and returned to his plow after leading the armies of Rome to victory.
George Washington, portrayed in this statue by Jean-Antoine Houdon returning to Mount Vernon after the Revolutionary War, was celebrated as the American Cincinnatus. He served as president general of the society from 1783 until his death in 1799 and remains a model of patriotic virtue.
Anderson House, the former home of Ambassador Larz and Isabel Anderson, has been the headquarters of the society since 1938. Modern members of the society -- descendants of the American and French officers whose service secured the independence of the United States -- work to preserve the memory and promote the ideals of the heroes of the Revolutionary War.

- Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.)
I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com
and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
