Bruccoli discovered Cugat's lost preliminary studies and sketches circa 1990. The sketches show the creative evolution of the jacket design. This image is specifically used in the article for critical commentary on the development and evolution of Francis Cugat's drafts and sketches for the iconic book cover for The Great Gatsby. |

| Portion used |
The entire drafts. Because the image is a work of art, the entire image is needed to identify the artwork, properly convey the subject and meaning intended by the artist, and avoid misrepresenting the artwork. |
| Low resolution? |
The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but considerably lower resolution than the original. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as a replacement for the original artwork. |
| Other information |
Copyright is likely held by Cugat's estate, but this is uncertain. The copyright might belong to the University of South Carolina's Irvin Department of Rare Books & Special Collections. |
