Licensing
The copyright is owned by Mara Vishniac Kohn, heir to Roman Vishniac. I, (Rmrfstar), am attempting to get in contact with her to request a release of some of her father's photos under a free license, but she is quite busy. All photographs of his are owned by her, so no free alternatives could be found. As a temporary solution (hopefully), this photo was found at http://www.singergallery.com/detailed.cfm?artistID=249&start=2&exhibitroomstart=1, using only a Google image search. It is of low-resolution and should not damage the value of the actual work significantly, yet is crucial to an article about the photographer as it is one of his most famous photographs and illustrates well his subject and photographic style.

Description
The Only Flowers of Her Youth, Warsaw, 1938 by Roman Vishniac The circumstance captured in this photograph is quite an interesting one. Allegedly, the little girl depicted was confined to her bed all winter because she had no shoes. She was kept company only by the flowers on her wall, painted by her artist father.
