Summary

Media data and Non-free use rationale
Description	The British Museum's Secretum
Author or copyright owner	Unknown
Source (WP:NFCC#4)	Original publication: History Today, September 2000, page 10 Immediate source: History Today, September 2000, page 10
Date of publication	September 2000
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7)	Secretum (British Museum)
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8)	To show the physical Secretum (the subject of the article) in a way that text alone cannot. The collection is no longer in operation and has since been merged into the main museum holdings, so this image is an important one to show the status of the Secretum before it was dispersed throughout other areas of the museum's physical stock
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1)	Extensive searches of online and offline sources have shown no free illustrations that can be used. The Secretum is an "historic collection" and artefacts previously held therein are now in with the general collection. The collection no longer exists in a physical sense.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3)	The image is of a smaller size than others copies of the original. The image should only be used on the Secretum article
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2)	The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original image. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as artwork on pirate versions or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original artwork. No commercial use is attached to the use by Wikipedia.
