Fair use rationale for Tennis Girl edit

The picture is being uploaded in a scaled down low resolution version under fair rationale to illustrate an article of significant cultural and historical importance: namely this is alleged to be the biggest selling poster of all time and is an iconic image for the 1970s in the UK and beyond.

This image is iconic. No meaningful discussion about the subject can be had without reference to the image. The image was/is extremely widespread with over 2 million posters being distributed (see article for ref).

So to be clear the rationale:

• 1. Significant cultural and historical importance
• 2. The image is iconic
• 3. The image has widespread use
• 4. No meaningful discussion about the subject can be had without reference to the image
• 5. The use of this image does not limit or impinge on the image's commercial use: namely sale as a full size poster.

It is believed that the use of scaled-down, low-resolution images of posters to provide critical commentary on the film, event, etc. in question or of the poster itself, not solely for illustration 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, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.
