Illustrations from The Early Poems of Alfred, Lord Tennyson[edit]

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 5 Dec 2012 at 08:39:20 (UTC)

Reason
A complete set of images for an interesting artist in the Arts and Crafts movement, and a set of notable poems.
Articles in which this image appears
All: William Edward Frank Britten; Individuals: As linked in gallery (above), also: The Garden at Somersby Rectory is used in Alfred, Lord Tennyson, and note Sleeping Beauty's link redirects to The Day-Dream, the title of the expanded version of the poem. There's a few other uses as well, for instance, the Mariana illustration is used in Measure for Measure, and Sleeping Beauty is used in the fairy-tale's page, Sleeping Beauty.
Notes
Due to need for consistency in a much larger set, the current FP, File:W.E.F. Britten - Alfred, Lord Tennyson - St. Simeon Stylites.jpg - is no longer used (well, not much). Also, there's minor duplication between illustrative images in William Britten - this is in order to have the gallery in book order, without gaps, while still having an example of his works.

  • Support, per nom and good digitalization. I just wonder whether this is a charcoal. Brandmeistertalk 19:47, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • Well, they're photogravures, but that's basically a photographic reproduction technique that can be used on anything you can photograph. Either charcoal or graphite sticks would be my guess for the original art being photographed, which works really well with the reproduction method. -Adam.
  • Support - Great restoration and digitalisation. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 22:47, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment PNG versions, could you upload PNG versions for a lossless version if someone else wants to use or edit them? Are the original versions uploaded too? — raekyt 06:38, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • There should be PNG versions linked for all, I'm not really sure why you think there aren't. Did I miss one? I have the originals, but uploading these was a hideous 12-hour process; so I skipped it. I'll start that now. Adam Cuerden (talk) 07:46, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      • Right. The original scans are all uploaded, and are linked, although a few of the uploads turned out to have been done years ago to a bad filename, or I typo'd the name while uploading, so there's a few redlinks until after the requested file moves happen. But everything should be there. Adam Cuerden (talk) 11:20, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
        • Support then. — raekyt 22:58, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Technical oppose: e.g. File:W.E.F. Britten - The Early Poems of Alfred, Lord Tennyson - The Lady of Shalott.jpg doesn't have a us rationale. PD-1923 would suffice, I think (haven't looked through them all). Grandiose (me, talk, contribs) 12:19, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • Oh, fuck me. Why do they have a tag if you have to have a second tag as well? That's incredibly stupid and annoying, and means editing 30+ pages. >=/ Adam Cuerden (talk) 16:00, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I have struck my oppose accordingly. Grandiose (me, talk, contribs) 16:44, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      • Okay, fixed. But I swear: Between the Upload Wizard and its stupidities, uploading another 22 files just to document this, 10 at the request of someone on here, I have literally spent about 18 hours just trying to give these to Wikipedia. Surely there has to be a better way? Adam Cuerden (talk) 16:13, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, sorry if I'm a little annoyed (althoguh I'm actually laughing a bit as well) but this has literally taken about 18 hours to deal with all of this, and at least half of that is down to problems with the upload interface and templates over at Commons. Hopefully, that finishes the work on this set. Adam Cuerden (talk) 16:38, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
