Portion used
Low resolution?

Yes
Purpose of use

To illustrate the original Reveille and show how different she looked from the more current mascots.
Replaceable?

This is a photo of a dog who died in 1944, so a new photograph cannot be taken. At the time, cameras were not widely available, and it is unlikely that a free use photograph exists.
