Non-free rationale for use in Ezra Pound

Though this image may be subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws, and the stricter requirements of Wikipedia's non-free content policies, because:

1. It is an historically significant photograph of Ezra Pound's wife, Dorothy.
2. It is being used for informational purposes in a section of the article that discusses how they met and married, and where her appearance is discussed by the poet W.B. Yeats. He wrote: "she looks as if her face were made out of Dresden china. I look at her in perpetual wonder. It is hard to believe she is real; yet she spends all her daylight hours drawing the most monstrous cubist pictures" (see Moody, David A. (2007). Ezra Pound, Poet: The Young Genius 1885–1920. Oxford University Press, p. 249). The image illustrates what Yeats was discussing.
3. There is no possibility of obtaining a release, because the copyright holder, if there is one, is unknown.
4. The image is not high resolution, and copies made from it will not be high quality.
5. It is widely available, and has no monetary value that would be affected by our use of it.
6. The image is in the public domain in Europe where it was taken, because the photographer, Walter Benington (1872–1936), died over 70 years ago. It is quite likely that the image is in the public domain in the U.S. too, because it's probable that it was published before 1923, but this is yet to be confirmed.
