Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) Adaptive Coloration in Animals
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) To illustrate Cott's approach in the book, which was to combine detailed examples with illustrations drawn by himself (such as this one), using his artistic skill to argue points in the zoology of coloration, in this case the value both of disruptive coloration and cryptic behaviour, which are key elements of the book.

Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) The image is cropped, at low resolution, and used only here and in the article on Cott; by sharing the image between the two articles, the minimum number possible of Cott's images are used overall, while at least conveying some idea of his approach and skill deployed in the book. It is the only example of a full-scale work of art by Cott in the article.
