File:My fair lady poster.jpg

This image is of a film poster, and the copyright for it is most likely owned by either the publisher or the creator of the work depicted. It is believed that the use of scaled-down, low-resolution images of film posters to provide critical commentary on the film in question or of the film poster itself, not solely for illustration where no free equivalent is available or could be created that would adequately give the same information, on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, qualifies as fair use under the copyright law of the United States. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.

1. The image is significant because it was used to promoted the theatrical portrayal of the real life relationship between Dr. Alexander Graham Bell and Alexander Ellis, a colleague of Bell's father, Dr. Alexander Melville Bell. Alexander Ellis is portrayed as Professor Henry Higgins, a philologist, in the story line of My Fair Lady. In real life Ellis, Dr. Bell, his brother, father and grandfather were all philologists, and the theatrical portrayal refers to them in homage in reference to the use of "Bell's Visible Speech".
