Brooke-Little_Arms.jpg‎ (50KB, MIME type: image/jpeg)

[edit] Summary

The coat of arms of John Brooke-Little. This appears to be the version of the achievement painted by Anthony Wood. It is being used here solely to represent the armiger, and the terms of fair use on Wikipedia would lead me to believe that this qualifies as fair use. The copyright of the design probably belongs to Mr Brooke-Little, who is recently deceased, and the actual image copyright probably belongs to Mr Wood, though I may be wrong on that.

This image depicts a seal, an emblem, a coat of arms or a crest.

A coat of arms can be depicted in multiple ways, and may only be used on Wikipedia if the design is available under a free licence. Otherwise, the depiction is not usable on Wikipedia, as a free equivalent should be producible, and it thus does not qualify as fair use. Representations of coats of arms are subject to copyright as original works of art and do not fall under Bridgeman Art Library Ltd. v. Corel Corporation's purview as they are not representations of two-dimensional works of art.

A seal or emblem, on the other hand, can only have one design. These are in the public domain if their copyright has expired; otherwise they are subject to copyright restrictions. In the latter case, it is believed that the image may be exhibited on Wikipedia under the fair use provision of United States copyright law. If you are sure that this image depicts a seal or emblem, please re-tag it as {{seal}}.

This work is copyrighted and unlicensed. It does not fall into one of the blanket fair use categories listed at Wikipedia:Fair use#Images or Wikipedia:Fair use#Audio_clips. However, it is believed that the use of this work in the article "John Brooke-Little":
