Image sales through mediastorehouse.com

The request was successful.

Dear Network Rail Limited,

I wish to know the following, regarding the sale of copies of images via mediastorehouse.com [1]:

* How many images do you offer for sale, via that site?
* Your sales figures through that site, per year, for the last five calendar years (or financial years, if that is how you record them), as number of images sold and as gross income paid to you
* Copies of any assessment made or advice received as to the ownership of copyright of depicted works, which are i) by an anonymous (human) author and made over 70 years ago; or ii) ascribed to a named author who died more than 70 years ago (or where the work was created so long ago that the author was not plausibly alive 70 years ago); or iii) whose copyright may have otherwise expired.
* The number of images of works understood by you to meet each of the aforesaid three criteria
* If you cannot give figures requested in the previous bullet point, the number of images of works created pre 1923, and the number created by (or for) each of the "big four" railway companies (or joint endeavours) between 1923 and 1948 (or, in the case of the GWR, in total, if that is all you record). If you can break these figures down by year, please do so
* The URLs of the oldest five works in the collection

In the case of tabular data, my preference would be for your answers to be in the form of a spreadsheet, or a comma-separated text file, that I can edit and manipulate in my own software.

If you cannot answer all of my questions within the number of working hours allocated to such requests, please answer as much as you can, in the order requested.
