Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) | Tolkien's maps |
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) | Allow readers to see Tolkien's own cartography, to compare it with the published version redrawn by Christopher Tolkien, and to understand the basis for the publisher's views on the map. |
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1) |
This exact image is discussed in the article. In any case, all Tolkien's artwork is in copyright. |
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) | This is the only example of Tolkien's own artwork for The Hobbit in the article. It is used only here, and at the usual sorry resolution. |
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2) |
It seems quite unlikely. The image has been in print since 1995. A thumbnail of low quality, in a detail cropped from the original, is no competition for the high-quality images in the published books. |
