[edit] Summary

[edit] Licensing

This image is of a book cover, and the copyright for it is most likely owned either by the artist who created the cover or the publisher of the book. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of book covers to illustrate an article discussing the book in question 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, might be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information. To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as described on Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline, as well as the source of the work and copyright information. Please include in your fair use rationale details of the particular edition (publisher, market & year of publication) of the edition you have used, and also acknowledge any cover artist if such artist is acknowledged in that edition's frontmatter. If the book cover is in the public domain (see Wikipedia:Public domain), then use the appropriate public domain tag rather than this one.

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

1. This is an image created and uploaded for informational purposes only, for visual identification of the Gold Seal Novel edition of the Rex Stout novella "Black Orchids."
2. The image is an accurate scan and includes all of the art created for the front cover of the publication
3. This image is of much lower resolution than the original. It cannot be used for high-resolution printing, and any copies made from it will be of inferior quality.
4. This image represents the work of the notable American illustrator Benjamin Moran Dale (1889–1951), and is a significant visual interpretation of the fictional character Nero Wolfe
5. This image represents one of only four appearances of a Rex Stout story as a Gold Seal Novel, a newspaper supplement series published 1934–1949
6. The copyright owner's rights to reproduce the image are not limited in any way.
