Article

RMS Empress of France (1914)

Portion used

The entire postcard image is used to convey the meaning intended and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the intended image

Low resolution?

The postcard image is a size and resolution sufficient to maintain the quality intended by Allan Line without being unnecessarily high resolution.

Purpose of use

The significance of the image is to help the reader identify the intended branding message in a way that words alone could not convey

Replaceable?

Because it is a specific Allan Line photograph of commissioned artwork, there is almost certainly no free equivalent. Any substitute that is not a derivative work would fail to convey the meaning intended, would tarnish or misrepresent its image, or would fail its purpose of identification or commentary. This use of the image is not likely to devalue the market value of the original of this postcard or the original paintings.

Other information

It relevant that this ship had two names:

1912—1918: SS Alsatian
1919—1934: RMS Empress of France

This article does show an images of the ship when it was RMS Empress of France -- a photograph taken some at some point between 1919 through 1931. In this context, it is not obvious how to determine whether or not "fair use" permits this opportunity to show how the ship was different in its earlier role as the SS Alsatian; but this question is posed squarely.
