Fair use rationale for Profumo Affair

 * The iconic image became an immediate talking point when the Sunday Mirror published a stolen copy in May 1963, driving the Profumo story back onto the front pages. The image has been associated with the scandal ever since, and endlessly reprinted.  Showing the photograph here helps the reader understand why it made such an impact, in a way that words alone do not convey.

Fair use rationale for Christine Keeler

 * The subject of the article is overwhelmingly visually associated with this one iconic image. An educational encyclopaedic entry on her would not be complete without it.
