[edit]
| Description | A closeup of a portion of an entry in The Compact Oxford English Dictionary, 2nd. Ed., with a scale in centimeters demonstrating the very small type sizes employed in the compact edition, and thus the need for a magnifying lens to read. |

| Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) | Oxford English Dictionary |
| Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) | This image demonstrates the exceptionally small type sizes that needed to be used in order to provide the entire unabridged OED into a single volume; and also why a magnifying lens is provided when purchasing the dictionary. |
| Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1) |
As the purpose of the photo is to demonstrate the actual size of the print, some portion of text of the actual physical object must be shown. The photo itself was self-taken and it is only the contents of the text that potentially fall under copyright claim. Any replacement photo would suffer the same copyright claims and fair use rationale. |
| Not replaceable with textual coverage because (WP:NFCC#1) |
Without an image or access to the actual printed work, it is difficult to comprehend how tiny the text actually is, or why one must use a form of magnification for reading. |
| Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) | The image is a very small portion of the work; and has also been cropped in such a manner as to not provide the complete or usable textual definition of the word entry. This image contains no logos, artwork, or other non-textual elements of the work. |
| Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2) |
The portion of text shown is an extremely tiny portion of the complete original work, and is cropped in such a manner as to be useless for it's primary commercial purpose. No complete entries or word definitions appear in the photo. |
| Other information | The centimeter scale shown in the image is not part of the original copyrighted work, but was placed on top of the page to demonstrate the scale and size of the text—the primary purpose for this image. |
