Non-free / fair use media rationale for Carmen (novella)
Description	Cover scan of Garnier-Flammarion edition (1973) of "Les Ames du Purgatoire" and "Carmen" by Prosper Merimee, incorporating detail of Merimee's watercolor "Carmen".
Source	own scan
Article	Carmen (novella)
Portion used	complete
Low resolution?	30kB
Purpose of use	Cover illustrating article on book
Replaceable?	None—not only does it have the usual rationale for showing a book cover, but it has the additional and rare significance of showing users how the author himself pictured the main characters.
Other information	The cover is unlikely to reduce demand for the book. It's used only once, and any partial view wouldn't show what the book looks like. It's published (obviously). Covers are generally considered to be appropriate encyclopedic content.

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Other use of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, might be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.

To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as described on Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline, as well as the source of the work and copyright information. Please include in your fair use rationale details of the particular edition (publisher, market & year of publication) of the edition you have used, and also acknowledge any cover artist if such artist is acknowledged in that edition's frontmatter. If the book cover is in the public domain (see Wikipedia:Public domain), then use the appropriate public domain tag rather than this one.
