Ashton, John. 1888. Modern street ballads. London: Chatto and Windus. Kevin Shay: When we think of folk ballads, we tend to think of familiar classics like those found in the Child collection: songs that have been adapted, performed, and memorized for centuries, handed down through the generations. But as browsing through Modern Street Ballads will remind you, for every timeless “Barbara Allen” there were dozens of topical ditties hastily composed and soon forgotten. And for good reason. Many of the ballads you’ll find here feature awkward diction, clumsy rhyme, and dubious scansion. Others deal with highly specific and ephemeral events or trends. And yet, tossed-off hack jobs though some of these pieces may be, all of them provide a fascinating glimpse into the daily concerns of the average British citizen of the period.

Sample permission conditions for rights-holders
Borrowed from a gentleman who has considered the question more than I had, and which I hope will help you decide to allow me to use material you own:
- The amount of material used does not exceed 10% of the length of the complete book.
- Any material used is properly acknowledged.
- The use made of the material is not mischievous or vexatious.
- This permission is without prejudice and does not entail any surrender of rights.
Copyright on digitised copies of public domain images
The Intellectual Property Office of His Majesty's Government believes there is none:
Simply creating a copy of an image won’t result in a new copyright in the new item. However, there is a degree of uncertainty regarding whether copyright can exist in digitised copies of older images for which copyright has expired. Some people argue that a new copyright may arise in such copies if specialist skills have been used to optimise detail, and/or the original image has been touched up to remove blemishes, stains or creases.
However, according to established case law, the courts have said that copyright can only subsist in subject matter that is original in the sense that it is the author’s own ‘intellectual creation’. Given this criterion, it seems unlikely that what is merely a retouched, digitised image of an older work can be considered as ‘original’. This is because there will generally be minimal scope for a creator to exercise free and creative choices if their aim is simply to make a faithful reproduction of an existing work.
I agree, and have used some images over which (British) institutions incorrectly claim copyright. However, generally I have been able to source alternatives from museums and galleries, in other countries, which embrace the law, such as the excellent Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
Bendor Grosvenor suggests that for the British National Gallery, image licensing is actually loss-making.
