Description	The first issue of Sports Illustrated, August 16, 1954, showing Milwaukee Braves star Eddie Mathews at bat in Milwaukee County Stadium.
Source	Derived from a digital capture (photo/scan) of the magazine cover (creator of this digital version is irrelevant as the copyright in all equivalent images is still held by the same party). Copyright held by the publisher or the artist. Claimed as fair use regardless.
Article	Sports Illustrated
Portion used	Cover only, a small portion of the magazine.
Low resolution?	Yes
Purpose of use	The image serves as the primary means of visual identification of the subject (the magazine). It illustrates educational articles about the magazine from which the cover illustration was taken.
Replaceable?	There is no free equivalent of this magazine cover, so the image cannot be replaced by a free image.
Other information	The use of the cover will not affect the value of the original work or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to distribute the original. In particular, copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the magazine.

[edit] Licensing

to illustrate the publication of the issue of the magazine in question
with the publication name either visible on the image itself or written in the image description above,

on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may 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 well as the source of the work and copyright information.

Note: If the image depicts a person or persons on the cover, it is not acceptable to use the image in the article of the person or persons depicted on the cover, unless used to directly illustrate a point about the publication of the image.
