[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Jeffersoninparis.jpg
Image:Jeffersoninparis.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] F. Bartolozzi Engraving
If anyone would be interested in a photo, I inherited a hand-colored engraving of Maria Cosway's "The Hours" by F. Bartolozzi.
The piece is titled "The Hours" and says "No. 1 of the British Poets", and also "Vide Gray's Ode to Spring". On the lefthand side under the edge of the engraving it says "Maria Cosway pinx" (I believe that means it is copied from a painting by Cosway) and under the righthand side "F. Bartolozzi R.A. & Engraver to his Majesty Sculp". Across the bottom it says "London Publish'd April 4 1788 by Thos Macklin, No. 30 Fleet Street".
In approximately 2000, I took it to a local frame shop, where it was rescued from its prior 1970s mounting with acidic paper and tape (egad), fortunately with no damage to the piece. It is now hanging reframed in acid-free environment behind UV-protective glass. I don't know how well it will photograph behind the glass, but I could try.
If I would do this, would we make the reference to "The Hours" a link, and put it on its own page? Or would it be best on the Maria Cosway page? I was thinking that I could put up some photos of the details if it were on a separate page.
If I take a photo from my private collection, then what kind of copyright info would I put with it? I don't understand the copyright info very well I guess. (A photo of a Tiffany sterling pitcher from my private collection that I put up in Wiki was apparently deleted and moved to the Wikipedia Commons area. ??)
