Fair use rationale for Elgin Marbles: Image is needed as a visual illustration of the controversial techniques of conservation applied to the marbles, which are extensively discussed in the article. Taken from an academic publication that uses the image for the same purpose, as cited in the article. Not replaceable since this is specialised original equipment not accessible to the general public; no commercial value at stake. Fut.Perf. ☼ 22:04, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
