Fair use rationale for Image:Doctor Dolittle's Caravan.jpg

Image:Doctor Dolittle's Caravan.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Need assistance in verifying publication date for this book: 1924 or 1926?

Hello. I have been working to verify what year this book was first published.

The Library of Congress online database/catalog shows [1926] as the publication date. However, the OCLC shows [1924] and [1926] for Doctor Dolittle's Caravan. To make matters even more unclear, I own an edition, one book in a six-book boxed set, published in 1967 as a tie-in to the 20th Century Fox Film Corp.'s motion picture starring Rex Harrison; and its copyright dates confuse the issue even more.

From its copyright page:

Copyright, 1924, 1925, 1926, by Hugh Lofting

Copyright, 1954, by Josephine Lofting

Printed in the United States of America Library of Congress Catalog Card Number 26-18089

26-18089 would seem to imply that it was published in 1926. A search at http://catalog2.loc.gov/ for [26018089] results in only one book: http://lccn.loc.gov/26018089. However, this web site also has a disclaimer that states:

"Please note: The Library of Congress does not keep a copy of every title ever published."

Any assistance in verifying the publication date for this book will be appreciated, since I do not know where else to search for copyright dates.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
