[edit] Description

An illustration of the Tower of Cirith Ungol, by Alan Lee

[edit] Fair Use Rationale

Though this image is subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

It is used as the primary means of visual identification in the article Tower of Cirith Ungol
It was made by a well-known illustrator of Tolkien's works. It cannot be easily relaced by a free alternative.
It does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the originals or prints in any way
It does not limit the value of the author's work, as it is a scaled-down version unsuited to piracy

[edit] Licensing

for critical commentary on
- the work in question,
