Fair Use Rationale: The photograph is a previously published image of an historic event (the W.J. Bush & Co Distillery Explosion, 1933; published 2016 by Merton Memories Photographic Archives, and possibly earlier by other publications). The use of this image in the context of the article "Environmental inequality in Europe" is transformative in nature, as it is notable as an early example of photojournalist documentation of an event directly attributable to the practice of racialized environmental inequality in Europe. The transformative use of the image is explicitly described by its caption in the article. This includes the significance of the image's historical documentary nature in relation to contemporary issues detailed in the article, such as modern-day environmental racism in the UK. The Mitcham area where the distillery was located was known both for its high prevalence of Romani and Traveller residents (who have a documented history of experiencing environmental racism in Britain), its poverty, and its concentration of polluting industries that had been expelled from London following the 1845 Health Act.[1] The residential area adjacent to the explosion had a large Romani and Traveller population, and was named 'Redskin Village,' a name which alluded to the dark skin of many of the Romani inhabitants.[1] Following the explosion of the distillery, 'Redskin Village' was "brought to an end" as a community.[2] Under contemporary academic discourse, the event depicted could arguably be attributed as an example of environmental inequality or environmental racism in Europe. This image provides an important visual context for studying the history of discourse regarding racialized environmental inequality in Europe, especially in consideration that the event photographed took place prior to the currency of contemporary descriptive terms such as "environmental racism", "environmental justice", or "environmental inequality." As such, the use of this image on Wikipedia, accompanied by additional context-adding commentary, is transformative in nature, and falls within fair use. For example, the Merton Memories Photographic Archive's series of image captions mention the presence and loss of Redskin Village before and after the explosion,[2] and the environmental and occupational hazards of the cluster of industries in Mitcham near the settlement,[3] yet none of the commentary available from the source discusses the incident within a context of environmental racism, which may arguably reflect both historical and contemporary issues surrounding social recognition of environmental inequality.
