Use in article (WP:NFCC#7)	Adaptive Coloration in Animals
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8)	To illustrate Cott's technique using both text and artwork drawn by himself to argue the case for the types of camouflage, in this instance disruptive coloration, a central theme of the book.
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1)	no equivalent exists, the image is hand-drawn by Cott himself.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3)	By reusing the same image for man and book, as few images as possible are employed while giving a small idea of the way that Cott worked. The image is at low resolution.
