However, it is believed that the use of this work in the article "Chicago Spire" :
  • To illustrate the subject in question
  • Where no free equivalent is available or could be created that would adequately give the same information
  • On the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation ([1]),

[edit] Fair use rationale

The following addresses general concerns regarding fair use policies of images in Wikipedia.

  1. Purpose and character of the use: Educational use: illustrates a scene from the history of Chicago, Illinois.
  2. Nature of the copyrighted work: historic photograph from 1963.
  3. Amount used: The image is cropped slightly. The current resolution is required to see an accurate depiction of the site of the Chicago Spire and DuSable Park prior to the demolition of the factory.
  4. Effect of the use on the potential market or value of the image: The resolution is not sufficient enough for a serious reproduction of the image in a book or other published source. The image, in fact, may draw interest to the University's collection. A link is included above for that purpose.

Further considerations:

  • The probability that this image could be replaced by a free image is very low because of its historical significance. If a free image is found that can replace this image, this image should be deleted and the free image should be used instead.
  • The curator of photographs at Indiana University has authorized this image use on Wikipedia.

Description

This is an aerial photo of the former elevated "S-Curve" on Lake Shore Drive, looking northeast. The curve no longer exists, and little remains of the structure.

Article

Lake Shore Drive
Portion used

This is almost the entire image, since it is important to show not only the curves themselves but the approaches and surrounding areas.
Low resolution?

The resolution is high enough to see some of the major details of the roadway, but is low enough that the collection offers it freely.
Purpose of use

To show the "S-Curve" on Lake Shore Drive in a way that text cannot; seeing the image shows how sharp the curves really were on a road that was essentially a freeway. It also shows the former industrial uses of the area that is now being redeveloped as Lakeshore East, and gives a feeling for what drivers on Lake Shore Drive were passing through.
Replaceable?

The current alignment opened in 1986 and the old structure was torn down. There are no known freely-licensed photographs of the structure taken at such an angle that both the configuration and the elevated nature can be seen. A straight-down aerial photograph would not serve the same purpose.
