Though this image is subject to copyright, I feel its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

1. This is an image created and uploaded for informational purposes only.
2. The image is an accurate scan that includes all of the art present in the illustration, including the artist's signature.
3. This image is of much lower resolution than the original. It cannot be used for high-resolution printing, and any copies made from it will be of inferior quality.
4. Use of this image in the article Archie Goodwin (character) adds to it significantly because it illustrates the fictional character that is the subject of the article.
5. Use of this image in the article adds to it significantly because it presents the work of prominent American illustrator Austin Briggs (1908–1973) and is a notable representation of the subject of the article.
6. The copyright owner's rights to reproduce the image are not limited in any way.
