Dear Ms. Sonntag,
I would like permission
to create an educational exhibit for the Belton Iris Society's 2015 Iris
Show that explains color patterns in irises. I would like to use the
pictures and descriptions that Mr. E. Roy Epperson used in his work
"Color Patterns". If I could have permission to enlage Mr. Epperson's work to a 20" x 30" poster, I believe our iris society members and the general public will have a better understanding of the terminology that many iris lovers use, such as "Amoena" and "Luminata".
I plan to cite Mr. Epperson's work either following the American Psychological Association (APA) or the Modern Language Association of America (MLA) guidelines. Your choice.
APA version:
Epperson, E. Roy (2011). Color Patterns. In The American Iris Society (Ed.), Basic Iris Culture or "What Every Iris Grower Should Know" (3rd ed.) (p. 9). The American Iris Society.
MLA Version:
Epperson, E. Roy. "Color Patterns."
Basic Iris Culture or "What Every Iris Grower Should Know". 3rd Ed. N.p.:The American Iris Society, 2011. 9.
Note: Town of publication was not listed.
Under
normal circumstances I would ask the author, but as he is deceased and
the editors are not specifically listed, I thought it best to request
permission from the AIS Editor. If this is incorrect, I will appreciate any guidance that you can provide me that will help me create this poster without infringing on the American Iris Society's copyright.
Thank
you for your attention in this manner.
Karen A. Woods
