I recommend looking at the SDNY case of Hearn v. Meyer, 3USPQ2d 1721 (1987), in which painstaking reproduction of W.W. Denslow's original illustrations for "The Wizard of Oz" were held not copyrightable because the originals were public domain and the reproduction, though extremely skilled, added nothing artistically to the originals.
