Seeking licensing rights to Amos Ferguson painting
Hello all!
I am a Canadian pastor, trying to get in touch with whatever entity may hold the licensing rights to the painting "The Whale Did Swallow Jonah" by the Bahamian artist Amos Ferguson. I am hoping to obtain a non-commercial license for use of the image on a church website, in connection with a sermon series on the Book of Jonah.
The image was used as album art for the Smithsonian Folkways album, "The Bahamas: Islands of Song" (1997), where the liner notes indicate that it was used "courtesy of Beryl Edgecombe, Webe & Tomland, New York City, Sawyer's Studio, Nassau, Bahamas."
Unfortunately, I can't find any online presence for either Webe & Tomland or Sawyer's Studio; I fear both enterprises may be defunct. Neither have I been able to find contact information for Mrs. Beryl Edgecombe, who I understand was lately President of The Bahamian American Cultural Society, Inc. in New York City. But this organization seems also not to have any current online presence.
If anyone can put me in touch with any of these organizations, I would be most grateful! God bless you, and God bless the Bahamas!
