Playbill cover for the Broadway production of the Simon Gray play Wise Child. I have the original Playbill and scanned the image myself.

Fair use rationale for use of the image in the article on Wise Child

The use of the image in the article Wise Child qualifies under the fair use doctrine because:

• It is a low-resolution image;
• Its use will not limit the copyright holder in realizing profits or other opportunities in connection with the image;
• It cannot be replaced by an equivalent free image (it is a historic playbill cover of a famous production that closed long ago); and
• It is the primary visual reference in the article concerning the play that is the subject of the article.

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.

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
