Though this image is subject to copyright, I feel its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

1. This is an image created and uploaded for informational purposes only.
2. The image is an accurate scan and includes all of the art created for the front cover
3. This image is of much lower resolution than the original. It cannot be used for high-resolution printing, and any copies made from it will be of inferior quality.
4. Use of this image in the Adaptations section of the article Fer-de-Lance adds significantly to the article because it visually identifies the first digest-book edition printing of the novel, published in abridged form by The American Mercury using the title Meet Nero Wolfe, the 1936 film based on the novel that is the subject of this section
5. Use of this image in the article Fer-de-Lance article adds significantly to the article because it visually identifies a notable early digest paperback by a notable publisher, Lawrence E. Spivak, and it was designed by a legendary book designer, George Salter, at the beginning of his long association with The American Mercury
6. The copyright owner's rights to reproduce the image are not limited in any way.

This image is of book cover(s), and the copyright for it is most likely owned either by the artist who created the cover(s) or the publisher of the book(s). It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of book covers to illustrate an article discussing the book in question on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, qualifies as fair use under the copyright law of the United States. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, might be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.
