Fair use for Charles N. Landon[edit]

Though this image, which I have copied from the google books digitized page of Popular Mechanics Magazine, Sept 1925 is from a publication of Hearst Magazines Division, Hearst Communications, Inc. and © 1925-2009, its use here is regardless covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

1. The image specifically illustrates and illuminates the commentary in an educational article about the advertiser; its inclusion in the article adds significantly to understanding the text because it is a historical sample of the advertisement for the Landon School covered in the article, and shows Landon's use of a distinctive promotional style. Moreover, the image shows how students were recruited for the school. Therefore the image substantially improves the educational value of the article.
2. The image is used as the primary means of visual identification of the article topic, which directly concerns a visual advertisement for a school of visual art.
3. It is of much lower resolution than the original, and only a section of the page is shown. Any potential copies made from it would be of very inferior quality and unsuitable for any commercial purpose. The image is not used here for profit, and its use on Wikipedia does not compete with the copyright holder, Hearst Communications, and such use does not decrease the value of the copyright to its holder.
4. It is not in any way replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image pertinent to the work referenced in the article, because any magazine page that contained the advertisement discussed in this section of the article is copyrighted.
