Summary[edit]

Non-free media information and use rationale – non-free book cover true for Witness (memoir)
Description	This is the front cover art for the book Witness (memoir) written by Whittaker Chambers. The book cover art copyright is believed to belong to the publisher or the cover artist. Book cover of the first American edition of Whittaker Chambers's Witness (1953)
Source	Scan of personal copy.
Article	Witness (memoir)
Portion used	The entire front cover. Because the image is a book cover, a form of product packaging, the entire image is needed to identify the product, properly convey the meaning and branding intended, and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the image.
Low resolution?	The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original book cover. 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.
Purpose of use	to serve as the primary means of visual identification at the top of the article dedicated to the work in question.
Replaceable?	As a book cover, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image that shows the packaging of the book would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary. Any derivative work based upon the cover art would be a copyright violation, so creation of a free image is not possible.
Other information	Use of the book cover in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under United States copyright law as described above.
