Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Andrew Carnegie

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Original - Andrew Carnegie sits at a desk, 1913. The world's former richest man would today be worth 298.3 billion dollars, according to Forbes. Carnegie was a kind man, known for being a philanthropist, however he was seen as a very hard-working man. This is an excellent image of the second wealthiest man in history.
Reason
The best picture of Carnegie on the project, by far. This image was taken in 1913, but it is top quality of images from that time period. It also features an extremely encyclopediuc subject, the great Andrew Carnegie.
