Shroud of Turin positive/negative compare of face region. I assert this partial image is acceptable for Wikipedia under Fair Use. Please leave message for me on user talk page if you dispute (before taking any action, that is).

This image has been in my private collection for a number of years. It came from a website (I no longer have the link) which carried no claim of copyright or copyright information. In all likelihood the image traces back to the collection of Mr. Barrie Schwortz, proprietor of Shroud.com. Although Mr. Schwortz claims rights on all forms of reproduction, I contend that the doctrine of Fair Use covers its inclusion in Wikipedia. It is a partial image and is reduced and compressed to an extent that would make it unsuitable for any commercial purposes that might infringe Mr. Schwortz's rights. JDG 05:04, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)
