Non-free / fair use media rationale for Hartford circus fire
Description	Photograph of the Hartford Circus Fire.
Source	A Miscellany of Hartford History - The Circus Fire
Article	Hartford circus fire
Portion used	Because the image is historically significant, the entire image is needed to properly convey the meaning intended, and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the image.
Low resolution?	The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable for uses that would compete with any commercial purpose of the photograph.
Purpose of use	The image is used for educational and informational purposes to show a significant event. It makes a significant contribution to the user's understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone.
Replaceable?	Because the image depicts a non-reproducible historic event, there is almost certainly no free equivalent. Any substitute that is not a derivative work would fail to convey the meaning intended, would tarnish or misrepresent its image, or would fail its purpose of identification or commentary.
Other information	Use of this image in the above article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under United States copyright law as described above.
