The original photo was taken by Andrew McL May (deceased). The photo was held in the Ulster Museum, but later gifted to Northern Ireland Environment Agency, Belfast, Northern Ireland. The scanned image was requested from, and provided by, the Northern Ireland Environment Agency, on the basis that it would be used to enhance the wikipedia entry about George Barnett (confirmed by private email). It is not clear to me who now owns the copyright of the photo, so I have erred on the side of caution and classified as fair use. The significance of the image is that it is the only known photo which captures George Barnett excavating the site of the Beaghmore Stones, the site that he was best known for discovering.

Fair use rationale[edit]

The image linked here is claimed to be used under fair use because:

  1. It is a historically significant photograph of George Barnett at the Beaghmore stone circles excavation in the 1940s, the site that he was best known for discovering.
  2. There is no alternative, public domain or free-copyrighted replacement image available.
  3. Inclusion of the image is for information, education and analysis only.
  4. The image is a low resolution copy of the original work, and of such low quality that it will not affect potential sales of the photograph.
