No technically about it. Unless you have the authority of the the copyright holder to use it for an agreed purpose you are infringing copyright. Having said that for non commercial use nobody is likely to get upset and copyright will expires 50 - 70 years after the death of the creator unless owned by a third party. It is all very complicated which is why copyright lawyers are rich people. Just for the avoidance of doubt ALL images are copyright, even your holiday snaps, the act of publishing them in any form even electronically i.e. display on you computer automatically copyrights them. Contrary to popular belief they do not have to be marked copyright.
I’ll put the soapbox away now.
