Both the work and the typographic copyright had expired when that was digitised. And, yes, we humans in the know can ignore it, but most people and bots will be assuming the NLNZ is authoritative and knows what it’s doing.

The book this letter features in ("The Life of Katherine Mansfield") is still in copyright; co-author Ruth Mantz only died in 1978. The CC license would've been applied to the whole work, rather than worked out for each quote.

I was thinking that VUW may be claiming a typographic copyright for the digitisation.
