LEGO Architectural Postcards

I received (on loan) a set of 30 postcards from a USA collector recently
(I won't divulge his name in case he minds me doing so).  These
postcards are from the "L'Architecture... c'est un jeu magnifique"
(Architecture is a wonderful game) LEGO architecture contest from 1985.
This contests was for European architects, and about 6 entries are shown
in the WORLD OF LEGO TOYS book from this series.

Anyway, my question is this:  Can I post these onto a website?  Or am I
violating copyright laws by doing so without the permission of the
publishing company that produced these postcards.  I probably already
know the answer, but these are soooo awesome, that it would be great to
share them with all AFOLs  (well most of them, anyway --- a few of them
are pretty dorky, .... er .... uh ... some postcards are dorky, not some
AFOLs).

My other option is just to make a CD of all the prints, and keep that,
but then all of you will forever be denied these wonderful creations.

Just wondering....

I have the official softback book of the results of this contest - I can check whether it has an ISBN and/or if it has any copyright statements in it if you like. Without digging it out, I'm not sure if it was an official LEGO publication or not. I (...) (25 years ago, 25-Feb-00, to lugnet.general)

(...) For the record, these are my postcards, a lot that I won on Ebay quite a while back. I'd been meaning to scan them and get them to Gary, but finally ended up loaning them to him so he could scan them. As to posting them, I have 4 of them (...) (25 years ago, 25-Feb-00, to lugnet.general)

(...) Gary, the book <<L'architecture est jeu... magnifique>> is copyrighted 1986 Groupe LEGO, so the postcards, which are the photographs of all 30 of the buildings in the book, would conceivably by regulated by the Lego Fair Play statements. The (...) (25 years ago, 25-Feb-00, to lugnet.general)

(...) FWIW, OCLC WorldCat lists a copy of the L'Architecture book in French at the US Library of Congress. I don't know whether you could actually get your hands on it if you went there in person or not. That's the only copy that shows up in (...)
