Summary

[edit]
Non-free media information and use rationale true for De Selby
Description

John Farson's illustration of the fictional character De Selby, who appears in Flann O'Brien's novels The Third Policeman and The Dalkey Archive

Source

Scan of the illustration found on a WordPress blog

Article

De Selby

Portion used

The illustration depicts nothing beyond De Selby holding a canister of "night" smoke, an iconic belief of the character discussed in the article, so a scaled-down version of the full illustration is used.

Low resolution?

Yes, the image has been reduced in quality significantly, greatly reducing the possibility for the image to be used for illegal purposes.

Purpose of use

The image is used as the primary means of visual identification of the character De Selby, a subject of public interest, to assure the reader they have reached the right article containing critical commentary on the character, and illustrate the nature of the character in a way that words alone could not convey.

Replaceable?

O'Brien's novels and Farson's illustration of the character are copyrighted, so no free image of the character is available.

Other information

The use of the illustration will not affect the value of the original work or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to distribute the original. In particular, copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the illustration.
