Though this image is subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:
It is a historically significant photograph of British children, taken prior to World War II who were shipped to various countries and placed into institutions and foster care under dubious circumstances.
It is of lower resolution than the original.
It is only being used for informational purposes.
Because the image depicts a non-reproducible historic event, there is almost certainly no free equivalent. Any substitute that is not a derivative work would fail to convey the meaning intended, would tarnish or misrepresent its image, or would fail its purpose of identification or commentary.
This image is a faithful digitisation of a unique historic image, and the copyright for it is most likely held by the person who created the imageor the agency employing the person. It is believed that the use of this image may qualify as non-free 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.
Please remember that the non-free content criteriarequire that non-free images on Wikipedia must not "[be] used in a manner that is likely to replace the original market role of the original copyrighted media." Use of historic images from press agencies must only be of a transformative nature, when the image itself is the subject of commentary rather than the event it depicts (which is the original market role, and is not allowed per policy).
