Fair use rationale for use of the image in the article Hal Block

• it is a low resolution image;
• its use will not deprive the copyright holder of income or opportunities;
• it cannot be replaced by an equivalent free substitute; and
• It conveys crucial aspects of Block's early writing career. First, the style of the Broadway show and it's importance. Only top musicals or artistic endeavours would be worthy of a Hirschfeld cartoon. The drawing also shows the light and humorous aspect of musicals and thus why Block found employment from this form. This particular show is important as Block purchased shares in this show from the principal writer before the show became a hit and this is an early example of Block's working as producer and investor.
