This work is copyrighted and unlicensed. It does not fall into one of the blanket acceptable non-free content categories listed at Wikipedia:Non-free content#Images or Wikipedia:Non-free content#Audio clips. However, it is believed that the use of this work in the article "Van Sweringen brothers" :

To illustrate the subject in question
Where no free equivalent is available or could be created that would adequately give the same information
On the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation ([1]),

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content and Wikipedia:Copyrights.

To the uploader: this tag is not a sufficient claim of fair use. You must also include the source of the work, all available copyright information, and a detailed non-free use rationale.

[edit] Fair use rationale

Purpose and character of the use: Educational use: shows historic Cleveland figures, the Van Sweringen brothers.
Nature of the copyrighted work: historic B/W photograph from 1928.
Amount used: The image is reproduced in full. The scan is of mediocre quality, sufficient for web publication, but unfit for serious print publications.
Effect of the use on the potential market or value of the image: Probably none. The CMP doesn't sell the image (and has given permission anyway), and Becker's book sales are unlikely to be reduced by this use of this image; in fact, it might rather incite Wikipedia readers to buy that book.
