| Portion used |
The entire published photograph is used to convey the impression intended and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the intended image. |
| Low resolution? |
The digitized image of the original photograph is a size and resolution sufficient for the reader to examine without necessary without being unnecessarily high resolution. |
| Purpose of use |
to clarify the various iterations of this vessel -- see "other information" below |
| Replaceable? |
Because it this image shows a troop ship with so many men in sight, there is almost certainly no free equivalent. Any substitute that is not a derivative work would fail to convey the impression intended by the artist and the National Portrait Gallery, would tarnish or misrepresent this person's image, or would fail its purpose of identification or commentary. |
| Other information |
It relevant that this ship had three names:
This article does show an images of the ship when it was RMS Empress of Japan; and there is also an image of the ship when it was the SS Hanseatic. In this context, it is not obvious how to determine whether or not "fair use" permits this opportunity to show how the ship was different in its wartime role; but this question is posed squarely. |
