Archive research does not automatically provide the right to reproduce every image found there. Imperial War Museum licensing could have added a large expense, while access to Drachinifel's private collection reduced the cost of illustrating this book. The cover creates a separate obligation because commissioned artists must be paid for their work. Image permissions and creative labour belong in the publication budget rather than being treated as free decoration.
