Motorcycle Mechanics (magazine)

Portion used

Most of front cover which was already slightly-cropped at edges when sourced. The image is a publication cover, a form of product packaging, the entire image is needed to identify the product, properly convey the meaning and branding intended, avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the image, and confirm the title name.

Low resolution?

Small as originally sourced and low file size. Size is sufficient for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original cover

Purpose of use

To be placed into infobox for identification of the brand which could not easily be conveyed by words alone, showing the date and the "new!" annotation of this historic magazine, the title script, the strapline "The illustrated how-to-do-it magazine", the contents topics and other fonts on the front cover

Replaceable?

1959, not replaceable

Other information

Historically important example cover of an important long-standing UK magazine to illustrate an existing Wikipedia article
