[edit] Fair use for 'Judge James Edwin Horton'

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

It is a photograph of a historical figure who was a judge in a public court (Eighth Circuit Court, Alabama).
It is of a low resolution and is in odd shadowing.
The photo is being used for identification, esp. with the important (to the article) claim that Judge James Edwin Horton bears a resemblance to Abraham Lincoln.
Its inclusion in the article adds to the claim, as above, of similarity to Abraham Lincoln, as well as adding identification to a name.

The license would be fair-use for a person who is dead.

[edit] Description

A front-on (not a proper term, but I'm not a photographer) photo of Judge James Edwin Horton, taken with a black-and-white camera. Only the upper-third of Horton's body is visible, and he is holding a cigar of unknown brand in his right hand. He appears to be in a suit with a tie and is missing the horn-rimmed glasses he occasionally wore.

This image is a faithful digitalization of a unique historic image, and the copyright for it is most likely held by the person who took the image or the agency employing the person. It is believed that the use of this Image

to illustrate the event or historically notable person(s) in question where:
The image depicts a non-reproducible historic event or historically notable person(s), and no free alternative exists or can be created, and
The image is low resolution and of no larger and of no higher quality than is necessary for the illustration of an article, and the use of the image on Wikipedia is not expected to decrease the value of the copyright,
on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Other use of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Fair use for more information.

If this does not accurately describe this image, please remove this tag and provide a different fair use rationale.

To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as described on Wikipedia:Image description page, as well as the source of the work and copyright information.
