OriginalWilliam Faulkner
Reason
It can be difficult to get free-licensed images for people from the mid-20th century - they may not have been photographed before 1923, and images from after that need careful copyright checking. William Faulkner, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, luckily has one image with a definite copyright-free status (and a few others the Library of Congress only scanned low-res). There's a colour bar, so this should be more-or-less the right colours (saturation tends to be poorly shown by colour bars).
Articles in which this image appears
William Faulkner, Barton Fink, List of Nobel laureates in Literature, and Harriet Frank, Jr., though it may take a little bit to propagate from the rename of the file.
