Fair Use rationale for use in S. A. Ayer[edit]

This image, S_A_Ayer.gif, is being linked here; though the picture may be subject to copyright I (rueben_lys) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because it depicts visually, and for want of freely available images, S A Ayer. The person is deceased and a free license alternative photo can therefore not be created. The image used is a lower resolution and edited version of the original from the individual's own publication Unto him a witness. The image is therefore in fair use.
