Knotwork from George Bain's "Celtic Art". Temporarily uploaded to answer question on Reference Desk.

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 "Wikipedia:Reference desk/Humanities":

To illustrate the object in question

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Fair use and Wikipedia:Copyrights.

To the uploader: this tag is not a sufficient claim of fair use. You must also include the source of the work, all available copyright information, and a detailed fair use rationale.

This page from Bain's classic work on Celtic Knotwork (1990 edition of 1944 original work, published by Stuart Titles, Edinburgh, ISBN:0-85335-166-X) is being used to answer a query relating to the similarities between Celtic and other forms of knotwork. No other available image would perform this task as well. As one illustrative page from the text, reproduced in low-resolution, it does nothing to alter the publisher's or Bain's estate's rights or abilities to sell the book (indeed it may well prove to be advertising for it).
