File:Board-of-Directors1908.jpg

This picture would be in the public domain had it been created in Columbia, as 80 years have passed since it was created. But not in Cote d'Ivoire, where 99 years must pass after the death of its creator. Most everywhere else, it is 50 or 70 years + lifetime. So it is all a bit arbitrary. However, this also meets the fair use requirements.

This is an illustration of a Board of directors in 1908, a subject of public interest.

This image may be obtained from http://www.microfactors.com/boardofdirectors.htm; the copyright for it is owned by the artist(s) who produced the artwork in question. The current owner of the work bought it at a real estate sale.

The entire image is used, of a size and resolution sufficient to maintain quality but not so large as to impinge on the capacity of the original image to be used for commercial purposes, is used to convey the meaning intended and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the intended image.

The image helps the reader identify the subject, assures the readers that they have reached the right article containing critical commentary about the subject, and illustrates the subject in a way that words alone could not convey.

The use of images on a wiki educates and informs viewers about a subject of public interest with images that words cannot replace and that have no free equivalent. This and other functions of a wiki noted above are facilitated by navigation between subjects that are connected, and images may also serve the unique ability of wiki articles to allow navigation between these subjects.

Any free substitute would fail one or more of the purposes above. These uses are believed to qualify as fair use under copyright law.
