Summary edit

Media data and Non-free use rationale
Description	The Private Case collection of obscene material held by the British Museum and British Library
Author or copyright owner	Unknown
Source (WP:NFCC#4)	Original publication: Unknown Immediate source: https://nursemyra.wordpress.com/2009/12/19/the-romance-of-lust/
Date of publication	Unknown (although taken in 1968)
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7)	Private Case
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8)	To show the physical Private Case (the subject of the article) in a way that text alone cannot. The case physical case is no longer used, and the collection has since been merged into the main text, so this image is an important one to show the status of the case before it was dispersed throughout other areas of the library's physical stock
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1)	Extensive searches of online and offline sources have shown no free illustrations that can be used. The Private Collection is classed by the British Library as an "historic collection" and works previously held therein are now in with the general catalogue. The collection no longer exists in a physical sense.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3)	The image is of a smaller size than others copies of the original. The image should only be used on the Private Case article
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2)	The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original image. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as artwork on pirate versions or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original artwork. No commercial use is attached to the use by Wikipedia.
