Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3)	It will only be used in the subject's biographical article.
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2)	The original item depicted is a product of a United States government service institution, and the image, itself, is owned by a museum that provides free access at-large to the general public, so there is no conflict of interest in the usage of this file within this particular instance of "fair use" with respect to either party.
