Chamberlain on his return from Munich, waves the infamous piece of paper containing the resolution to commit to peaceful methods signed by both Hitler and himself.

Not replaceable photograph of an historic event; the picture itself has become more or less iconic. Fair use? Eugene van der Pijll 20:51, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright details

I'm not sure how to put these details on the image page, so I'm putting them here for now. I followed up the above, and I think that this image is a Getty image:

"Title: Munich Pact; Image #: 2668142; License type: Rights-managed; Photographer: Central Press/Stringer; Collection: Hulton Archive; Source: Hulton Archive; Credit: Getty Images; Date created: 30 Sep 1938; Copyright: 2007 Getty Images."

Description This image shows Neville Chamberlain holding the paper containing the resolution to commit to peaceful methods signed by both Hitler and himself on his return from Munich, Germany. He is showing the piece of paper to a crowd at Heston Airport on 30 September 1938. He said:

"...the settlement of the Czechoslovakian problem, which has now been achieved is, in my view, only the prelude to a larger settlement in which all Europe may find peace. This morning I had another talk with the German Chancellor, Herr Hitler, and here is the paper which bears his name upon it as well as mine (waves paper to the crowd - receiving loud cheers and "Hear Hears"). Some of you, perhaps, have already heard what it contains but I would just like to read it to you ...".

Later that day he stood outside Number 10 Downing Street and again read from the document and concluded:

'"My good friends, for the second time in our history, a British Prime Minister has returned from Germany bringing peace with honour. I believe it is peace for our time."

A year later, World War II started when Germany invaded Poland.
Source

The source of the original uploaded image is not known. Later research has shown that this image is part of the Hulton Getty Picture Collection (image number: 2668142). Getty credit "Central Press/Stringer" and confirm that the image was created on 30 September 1938. The image is now part of the Hulton Archive. See "other information" below.
Portion used

The entire image is used.
Low resolution?

A low-resolution copy of the image is used.
Purpose of use

This image is only intended to be used in the articles Neville Chamberlain, Munich Agreement and Appeasement of Hitler to illustrate a moment that came to represent the history leading up to the outbreak of World War II. In the light of later events, both Chamberlain's "piece of paper" and his "peace for our time" quote became famous. This can be conveyed to a certain extent by words, but the impact of the image significantly increased the reader's understanding of the history.
Replaceable?

This is a non-replaceable historical image of a unique historic event.
Other information The following is further information on the later history and provenance of the image:

The Hulton Getty Picture Collection (formerly the Hulton Deutsch Archive) scarcely needs an introduction. Based in London, this collection is universally acknowledged as the greastest library of photojournalism in the world. The collection comprises in excess of 15 million photographs, prints and engravings, including the work of such famous names as Keystone, Picture Post, Fox and Central Press. (HELIX (Higher Education Library for Image eXchange))

The photographic archive of Picture Post became an important historical documentary resource, and was set up by Sir Edward G. Hulton as a semi-independent operation called Hulton Picture Library. It was bought by the BBC in 1958 and incorporated into the Radio Times photo archive, which was then sold to Brian Deutsch in 1988. The Hulton Deutsch Collection was bought for £8.6m by Getty Images in 1996, and Getty has retained the Hulton Picture Library as a featured resource within its large holdings. (Picture Post)
