[edit] Summary

This image, The_Murder_of_Roger_Ackroyd_First_Edition_Cover_1926.jpg is being uploaded here; though the picture is subject to copyright I (JohnTomlinson) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because the use of a single cover "to illustrate an article discussing the book in question" is allowed. The image has been scanned by myself from a facsimile cover held in my possession and has then been reduced in size and cropped to prevent further facsimilies being made. The artist is identified on the cover as Ellen Edwards bar the fact that she illustrated several other first edition covers in the 1920's and early 1930's. No further information about the artist is known to me. This scan is purely for linking to the Wikipedia article on the novel The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie and no other use should be made of it.

[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.
