Reason: There's a lot to like about this photo regarding the naturalness of pose and expression, and being very good for this time period (the 1910s were a transitional period away from the excessively long photographic takes of the Victorian period, but that had some compromises that would take a while to get past; I'd say this photo is actually exceptional for the era)

Comment This is not a great composition. More of a snapshot. Charlesjsharp (talk) 10:13, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's possible a crop was intended, but I do like details, like the Western Union Telegraph form on the left. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.7% of all FPs.} 23:02, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose – Cluttery comp. Bio article thin at 140 words. Subject's foray into politics was brief and unsuccessful. Negligible EV. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sca (talk • contribs)
Support Alt 1 – The crop is much better. Her face is out of focus, but at 50% magnification it passes for a historic photo IMO. Bammesk (talk) 02:05, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Adam, you forgot to give a reason above. Bammesk (talk) 03:11, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Bammesk: Fixed. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.7% of all FPs.} 14:22, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose both. I don't think we should crop archive images here. Charlesjsharp (talk) 13:09, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
