Purpose of use

The image serves as the primary means of visual identification of the subject, illustrating a single educational article. It is not otherwise possible to accurately describe the appearance of the character solely through a textual medium sufficient to create a picture in one's mind, so the image is significant in illustrating the subject of the article, facilitating critical commentary as it provides an immediate relevance to the reader more capably than the textual description alone. The image is being used to portray the character as she appeared during the start of her (as of 2011) 26 year stint in EastEnders, in addition to portray the visual differences in the character over that course of time. Dot's appearance is discussed with sources in the texts. Of particular note is Dot's hairstyle, which at the beginning of the programme was the actresses own hair styled in Dot Italian Boy hairstyle. As Brown aged, Brown was unable to style her own hair and subsequently uses a wig, the infobox image and the early image serves as comparison to the visual differences and similarities of the character's appearance for over a quarter of a century.

Replaceable?

As a promotional (nonfree) image, the image is not replaceable by free content; the copyright holders have not released similar images into the public domain or allowed free use of existing copyright images, and any other screenshot would be similarly copyrighted. While a free image of the actor could be found, any such version is not true to the original character as the subject of this article and would be inadequate for identification or commentary.
