This image represents a two-dimensional work of art, such as a drawing, painting, print, or similar creation. The copyright for this image is likely owned by either the artist who created it, the individual who commissioned the work, or their legal heirs. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of artworks: for purposes of critical commentary on: the specific work in question, the artistic genre or technique employed in the artwork, or the artistic school or tradition to which the artist is associated, as applied within the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers located in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other use of this image, whether on Wikipedia or elsewhere, could potentially constitute a copyright infringement.

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 and includes all six photographs appearing the page, in the order of their appearance.
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 art in the article Where There's a Will adds to it significantly because it represents the first time an illustration was used in a Nero Wolfe novel.
5. Use of this art in the article Where There's a Will adds to it significantly because these photographs are described in detail in chapter 15 of the novel — they hold the key to the solution of the mystery — but the photographs were printed in only the Farrar & Rinehart first edition. There was only one printing, in June 1940.
6. Use of this art in the article Where There's a Will adds to it significantly because it represents an infamous publishing blunder on the part of Farrar & Rinehart. The photographs discussed in the novel were taken in July, but the photographs reproduced in the Farrar & Rinehart edition depict leafless trees and a landscape devoid of foliage. Rex Stout received many letters of complaint about the photographs, which he forwarded to his suitably embarrassed publisher. (John McAleer, Rex Stout: A Biography, pp. 280–281)
7. Use of this art in the article Where There's a Will adds to it significantly because the sixth image purports to be a photograph of Archie Goodwin and Nero Wolfe, the primary characters in the novel — a unique occurrence.
8. The copyright owner's rights to reproduce the image are not limited in any way.
