  3. This image is of much lower resolution than the original. It cannot be used for high-resolution printing, and any copies made from it will be of inferior quality.

  5. Use of this image in the article The League of Frightened Men adds to it significantly because it is a notable illustration of the fictional characters Nero Wolfe, Archie Goodwin (fictional detective) and the central figure in the story, Paul Chapin, and it visually communicates a key scene from chapter 14 of the novel. The caption reads as follows: He Seemed to Me About Half Hysterical, and I Was Ready to Jump Him
  6. Use of this image in the article adds to it significantly because it presents the artistry of prominent American illustrator Rico Tomaso (1898–1985) in the first of only three Nero Wolfe stories illustrated by the artist.
