Full title:
Convention on literary and artistic works between Spain, Great Britain and Ireland (1857)

Full title original language:
Convenio con Inglaterra sobre Obras literarias y Artísticas (1857)

Abstract:
The negotiation of the convention between Spain and the United Kingdom was thwarted for three years but was finally signed in 1857. The commentary considers the initial steps taken in the negotiations by Lord Howden, the difficulties in controlling the discussions and the content of the agreement. In particular, it shows the influence of the previous French-Spanish copyright treaty (1853) in the activation of interest in the British Foreign Office. And it continues by highlighting issues of copyright diplomacy and the final content of the agreement.
