Summary
| Media data and Non-free use rationale | |
|---|---|
| Description | Cover for the Italian Mondaori giallo translation of Edgar Wallace's 1920 novel Jack O' Judgment, published by Mondaori in 1933. |
| Author or copyright owner |
Edgar Wallace |
| Source (WP:NFCC#4) | Original publication: Published by Mondadori, Italy, 1933. Immediate source: Scanned copy of book cover |
| Date of publication | 1933 |
| Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) | giallo |
| Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) | The article refers to the series of Italian translations of English mystery novels called Il Giallo Mondadori ("Mondadori Yellow (books)"). The series eventually spawned a film subgenre called giallo films, in reference to their characteristic yellow ("giallo" in Italian) covers. Edgar Wallace's Il Fante di Fiori is a particularly perfect illustration of this phenomenon and clearly illustrates the precise characteristics of the series, as well as clearly depicting other important aspects of the genre (for example, the masked gunman). The image is necessary to visually depict the origin of the genre's name and genesis and to differentiate Italian "yellow" giallos from other works with similar yellow covers (Cliff Notes, for example). |
| Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1) |
This is an article pertaining to a discrete, specific series with a unique visual style; recreations would be meaningless. |
| Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) | This is a singular, specific image necessary to illustrate the characteristics of a particular genre, of low resolution, and of limited scope. |
| Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2) |
The resolution quality is too low to be of any use for reproductions, and useless without the text of the book. |
