Fair use for Sir Lord Baltimore edit

Though this image is subject to copyright, I feel its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

1. It is a historically significant photo of famous individuals (Louis Dambra, Gary Justin, and John Garner of Sir Lord Baltimore).
2. It is of much lower resolution than the original (copies made from it will be of very inferior quality).
3. The photo is only being used for informational purposes.
4. Its inclusion in the article adds significantly to the article because it shows three subjects of this article.

This media was proposed for deletion as a replaceable non-free content. It was reviewed by an administrative user, or another user, who declined the deletion, judging that no adequate free-licensed file exists or can be created to fulfill the limited role performed by this file at the time deletion was considered. However, this file may be replaceable by a free file in other contexts, and in such cases the free file must take precedence. A discussion of this decision may exist on the file talk page. This template is for proposed files only. For non-proposed files, use {{Do not replace-F7}} instead.
