n.a.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) Only this one image is used; it is the only image which could possibly illustrate this topic as it is the one Penrose himself used in his lectures. His deliberate use of the image of his female partner, which was intentionally glamorous and anti-establishment, illustrates his character and his ambivalent attitude - he was working for the military as an artist. The image is used at low resolution; it is already available both on the web as listed above, and in print e.g. in Peter Forbes' Dazzled and Deceived, Yale, 2009 at much better resolution, so commercial usage is not threatened.
