Fair use for Louis MacNeice[edit]

I believe this is fair use because:

1. It is an historically significant photo of a famous individual.
2. The photo is only being used for informational purposes.
3. It is a low resolution copy of the book cover, and the small size means that the picture does not limit the copyright holder's ability to exploit the original image (it is effectively a thumbnail).

Fair use for Literature of Birmingham[edit]

I believe this is fair use because:

1. It is an historically significant photo of a famous individual.
2. The article includes critical discussion of the poetry within the book
3. The photo is only being used for informational purposes.
4. It is a low resolution copy of the book cover, and the small size means that the picture does not limit the copyright holder's ability to exploit the original image (it is effectively a thumbnail).

This image is of book cover(s), and the copyright for it is most likely owned either by the artist who created the cover(s) or the publisher of the book(s). It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of book covers to illustrate an article discussing the book in question on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, qualifies as fair use under the copyright law of the United States. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, might be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.
