Fair use rationale for article Ralph Flanders

Although this image is subject to copyright, I feel that the fair use provisions of U.S. copyright laws cover its use because:

1. The purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes – It is a historically significant political cartoon, showing a pro-McCarthy reaction to the proposed censure, initiated by Senator Ralph Flanders. Its inclusion in the article adds significantly to the article because it shows the subject of this article and how the event depicted was very historically significant to the general public. The use is for informational purposes through a non-profit entity.
2. The nature of the copyrighted work – The original cartoon was drawn for the now-defunct New York Journal American, which left no surviving successor company. The scanned image is of much lower resolution than the original (copies made from it will be of very inferior quality).
3. The amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole – The cartoonist, L.D. Warren was a prolific, syndicated contributor to many newspapers. This one cartoon is a small part of his life’s work.
4. The effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work. – A thorough search revealed no organization or foundation that was positioned to market the work of L.D. Warren. Were there to be such an entity, this one cartoon would have a negligible effect on the overall market potential, especially since the image is scanned from a photostatic copy of the cartoon and then shrunk to very few pixels, which gives it poor potential for reproduction.
