Fair use rationale

 * 1) Purpose and character of the use: Educational use: illustrates a scene from the history of Cleveland, Ohio.
 * 2) Nature of the copyrighted work: historic B/W photograph from 1930.
 * 3) Amount used: The image is reproduced in full. The scan is of mediocre quality, sufficient for web publication, but unfit for serious print publications.
 * 4) Effect of the use on the potential market or value of the image: Probably none. The CMP doesn't sell the image (and has given permission anyway), and Becker's book sales are unlikely to be reduced by this use of this image; in fact, it might rather incite Wikipedia readers to buy that book.
