Fair Use Rationale[edit]

Although this image, Carved lions cover.jpg, is subject to copyright, I (Sanjay Tiwari 13:01, 24 September 2006 (UTC)) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

1. it is a low resolution copy of a book cover;
2. the author of the book, Mary Louisa Molesworth, died over 100 years ago
3. the book is out of print
4. it does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the cover art in any way;
5. copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the cover artwork;
6. the image on the cover is significant because it was made by a famous artist, Lewis Hart.

Licensing[edit]

This image is of book cover(s), and the copyright for it is most likely owned either by the artist who created the cover(s) or the publisher of the book(s). It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of book covers to illustrate an article discussing the book in question on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, qualifies as fair use under the copyright law of the United States.
