Part of a digitized page of a Popular Mechanics Magazine, Sept 1925. 296 pages,ISSN 0032-4558 Published by Hearst Magazines

Though this image, which I have copied from the google books digitized page of Popular Mechanics Magazine, Sept 1925 is from a publication of Hearst Magazines Division, Hearst Communications, Inc. and © 1925-2009, its use here is regardless covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

1. The image specifically illustrates and illuminates the commentary in an educational article about the advertiser; its inclusion in the article adds significantly to understanding the text because it is a historical sample of the advertisement for the Landon School covered in the article, and shows Landon's use of a distinctive promotional style. Moreover, the image shows how students were recruited for the school. Therefore the image substantially improves the educational value of the article.
2. The image is used as the primary means of visual identification of the article topic, which directly concerns a visual advertisement for a school of visual art.
3. It is of much lower resolution than the original, and only a section of the page is shown. Any potential copies made from it would be of very inferior quality and unsuitable for any commercial purpose. The image is not used here for profit, and its use on Wikipedia does not compete with the copyright holder, Hearst Communications, and such use does not decrease the value of the copyright to its holder.
4. It is not in any way replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image pertinent to the work referenced in the article, because any magazine page that contained the advertisement discussed in this section of the article is copyrighted.

This image is of a magazine cover, and the copyright for it is most likely held by either the publisher of the magazine or the individual contributors who worked on the cover depicted. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of magazine covers to illustrate the publication of the issue of the magazine in question with the publication name either visible on the image itself or written in the image description above, 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. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.

To the uploader: Please add a detailed non-free use rationale for each article the image is used in, which must also declare compliance with the other parts of the non-free content criteria, as well as the source of the work and copyright information. For example non-free use rationales, see Wikipedia:Use rationale examples. This tag should only be used for magazine covers. Do not use it for other purposes. Consider using Template:Non-free use rationale serial publication to start the rationale To patrollers and administrators: If this image has an appropriate rationale please append |image has rationale=yes as a parameter to the license template. Note: If the image depicts a person or persons on the cover, it is not acceptable to use the image in the article of the person or persons depicted on the cover, unless used to directly illustrate a point about the publication of the image. Use of the image merely to depict a person or persons in the image will be removed. Fair use true
