Though this image is subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws, and the stricter requirements of Wikipedia's non-free content policies, because:

1. It illustrates an educational article about the deceased person that the photograph represents.
2. The image is used as the primary means of visual identification of the article topic, and could be considered an iconic image.
3. It is a low resolution image, and thus not suitable for production of counterfeit goods.
4. The photo is not used in such a way that a reader would be confused into believing that the article is written or authorized by the owner of the photo.
5. As the subject is deceased, the photograph is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image of comparable educational value.

This image is a faithful digitisation of a unique historic image, and the copyright for it is most likely held by the person who created the image or the agency employing the person. It is believed that the use of this image may qualify as non-free use under the Copyright law of the United States. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information. Please remember that the non-free content criteria require that non-free images on Wikipedia must not "[be] used in a manner that is likely to replace the original market role of the original copyrighted media." Use of historic images from press agencies must only be of a transformative nature, when the image itself is the subject of commentary rather than the event it depicts (which is the original market role, and is not allowed per policy).
