Summary

Media data and Non-free use rationale
Description	Picture of English writer Gerald Butler.
Author or copyright owner	Russell Sedgwick
Source (WP:NFCC#4)	Original publication: Appears in dust jacket of Gerald Butler's 1951 novel Choice of Two Women. Immediate source: https://pictures.abebooks.com/inventory/30882446373.jpg
Date of publication	20 September 1951
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7)	Gerald Butler (writer)
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8)	for visual identification of the person in question, at the top of their biographical article
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1)	No other known photographs of person; person died in 1988. No free alternative has been found and, with Butler's death, no image could be created to illustrate the topic in question. Any derivative work based upon the photograph would be a copyright violation, so creation of a free image is not possible.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3)	The purpose of this image is for identification and critical commentary in the Gerald Butler article, a subject of public interest. The image meets general Wikipedia content requirements and is encyclopaedic. Its use will be the main subject identifier in the infobox.
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2)	The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original image. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as artwork on pirate versions or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original artwork. No commercial use is attached to the use by Wikipedia.
Other information	The subject of the photograph has been deceased since: 1 February 1988
