I believe this image of a Coat of Arms qualifies for Fair Use if it is used to represent the institution to which it belongs (Magdalen College School, Oxford) and to illustrate its historic Coat of Arms. Copyright in this specific representation resides in the School. --Ed hazell 19:10, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
