Portion used

The entire front cover. The entire image is needed to identify the book, including the specific edition, help confirm bibliographic data, properly convey the meaning intended, and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the image.

Purpose of use The image is used as the primary means of visual identification of the book and edition involved and to confirm the accuracy of such bibliographic data as title, publisher, price, and cover artist.
Public Domain Status
Compyright Status The image was published in the United States prior to 1964, by US nationals. Diligent search has failed to locate any copyright renewals, so this image may safely be presumed to be in the public domain, under the copyright laws of the United States. Under Bridgeman Art Library v. Corel Corp., 36 F. Supp. 2d 191 (S.D.N.Y. 1999), a slavish reproduction (such as a photocopy or scan) of a 2-dimensional (flat) work of art that is in the public domain is not entitled to a separate copyright.
