Not replaceable with
free media because
(WP:NFCC#1)
Whitehead's been dead since 1977, so...
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) It's used once in the one file. I shrunk it from the original. Permitted under the "photos of dead people" exception.
Respect for
commercial opportunities
(WP:NFCC#2)
I dunno. It's an old, small, not-super-high-quality image cropped from a 60 year old ad... While it's not utterly impossible that Schweppes would revive the Command Whitehead persona (forgotten as he is, but you never know), but if so they're going to use a new actor. If they wanted to use the old photos, they have the originals in their archive, and the existence of this photo is not going to materially impact that campaign in the least. And I'm not seeing any other way to commercialize this photo.
Other information The subject of the photograph has been deceased since: 1978
