This work is copyrighted and unlicensed. It does not fall into one of the blanket acceptable non-free content categories listed at Wikipedia:Non-free content#Images or Wikipedia:Non-free content#Audio clips. However, it is believed that the use of this work in the article "Edward L. Jackson" :

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]),

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:Non-free content 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 non-free use rationale.

This is a slightly cropped image of Edward L. Jackson, Governor of Indiana from 1925-1929. It is from the Library of Congress collection, but its copyright status is not certain. Rather than tag it as "fairold", I have chosen the "Fairuse" tag based on the following:

1. The image is a photograph.

2. The source of the copyright is known. The copyright was owned by a firm known as "Underwood and Underwood."

3. The firm probably no longer exists. There was a British firm of the same name that made and sold stereoscopic images in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, but that might not be the same firm.

4. The photograph is not notably creative or artistic and is not the subject of a current news story.

5. The image is no larger than required for the Wikipedia article.

The photo appears to have been taken during or shortly after Jackson's term as governor. The quality is not very good, but the only other image I have located of Jackson is a photo of his official oil painting, which might also be subject to restrictions.

Here is the information on the image given by the Library of Congress:
