This illustration is from page six of the publication.
One of the frequently referenced items in this story is an Ace double published in, or just before, 1957 with Seconds of Arc on one side and What Vast Image on the flip side. Both stories are by Daniel Gropeshaw. Later in the story we learn the author name is an anagram, and a pseudonym, for Sophia Greenwald. While Salvage and Demolition author Tim Powers often weaves his stories around established facts, Sophia Greenwald is apparently fictional along with her stories.
Page 6 of the Subterranean Press edition has a black and white photograph of the contents of a cardboard box that includes a copy of the Ace double "Seconds of Arc" by "Daniel Gropeshaw." The cover on the book shown in the photograph is the same as the one for the story A Man Called Destiny in the Ace double D-311. The photograph also shows the book's spine with "What Vast Image" being visible as the other title though the artist forgot to flip it. Page 13 describes the flip side of the fictional Ace double as "green and yellow—giant lizards chasing men in a jungle with What Vast Image in lurid lettering across the top." This description does not match the flip side of Ace D-311. Assuming it's not entirely fictional, the author may be describing the cover of The Mind Monsters on the Ace double G-602 or Eye of the Monster on the Ace double F-147.

| Portion used |
The entire illustration. The entire image is needed to identify this illustration, including the specific edition, help confirm bibliographic data, properly convey the meaning intended, and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the image. |
| Resolution reduced? |
This resolution is significantly reduced, and could not plausibly be used to make publishable copies of the original. |
| Fair Use Image Rationale | |
|---|---|
| Purpose of use | The image is used as the primary means of visual identification of the illustration and to confirm the accuracy of such bibliographic data such as the artist and when merging ISFDB interior-art title records that the records refer to the same illustration. |
| Replaceable? |
As the illustration is not replaceable by free content; any other image that shows the illustration would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary. |
| Rationale |
The use of this image, in connection with the display of bibliographic information about a specific edition of Salvage and Demolition, as part of the ISFDB, a non-profit bibliographic reference work, on servers located within the United States, is believed to constitute Fair Use within the meaning of United States copyright law. Reusers of the ISFDB's content should take care to be sure that their use conforms to applicable copyright law -- not all such uses will constitute fair use, and copyright law varies significantly in different nations. |
