Summary

[edit]
Non-free media information and use rationale true for How to Eat Like a Child
Description

Promotional photo of the cast of the original NBC musical-comedy television special How to Eat Like a Child

Source

Official August 1981 NBC press-release in uploader's possession.

Article

How to Eat Like a Child

Portion used

Cropped for article formatting (see original upload), however the entire cast is shown to avoid misrepresenting the intended image.

Low resolution?

As a "group" photo of eight cast-members, the image has been specifically sized to be as small as possible, while providing the reader with a reasonable idea of the characters' appearances (any smaller and the faces would be virtually unrecognizable).

Purpose of use

The image is placed in the infobox at the top of the article discussing the 1981 NBC special How to Eat Like a Child, a subject of public interest. The significance of this particular image is to help the reader identify the subject, assure the reader that they have reached the right article containing critical commentary about said subject, and to illustrate NBC's intended branding in a way that words alone could not convey. (There is also a book and a stage musical, both also titled How to Eat Like a Child, so this particular image serves to help the reader differentiate from all other subjects with the same title). Also see rationale below.

Replaceable?

Characters in a performance setting are always presumed to be non-free, therefore, a free-use alternative won't exist.

Other information
