Summary
This is a low-resolution scanned image of the cover of the 1885 hardcover edition of Tom Brown at Oxford by Thomas Hughes, illustrated by Sydney Prior Hall (1842-1922), and published by Macmillan and Company, New York. Since the illustrator did not die over 100 years ago, the image may still be subject to copyright. Sanjay Tiwari 14:58, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Fair Use Rationale
Although this image, Tombrown_atoxford_cover.jpg, may be subject to copyright, I (Sanjay Tiwari 14:58, 24 September 2006 (UTC)) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:
 * 1) it is a low resolution copy of a book cover;
 * 2) the author of the book, Thomas Hughes (1822-1896), died over 100 years ago
 * 3) the book is out of print
 * 4) it does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the cover art in any way;
 * 5) copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the cover artwork;
 * 6) the image on the cover is significant because it could have been made by a famous artist, Sydney Prior Hall (1842-1922), who was the illustrator of the book
