Reason: High resolution, very eye catching. Resolution is high, graininess is acceptable as the image is from 1935.

What's going on here? The source image is much smaller, and there are very strange artefacts on this version. Aaadddaaammm (talk) 07:23, 2 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The original source (here) notes that there is (was?) also a 20mb TIFF. This seems to have been drawn from that file. Can't access it for some reason. Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:21, 2 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oddly I get the same error now, though it was available not too long ago. Maybe it's just a temporary issue at the LOC. JBarta (talk) 12:15, 2 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hopefully. If you still have the original TIFF perhaps you could upload it separately? Crisco 1492 (talk) 12:53, 2 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose The monochrome tones look mucky (especially the "shadows" behind AMW which I suspect may be a contemporary enhancement) and it just generally looks to have been rather carelessly processed. Plutonium27 (talk) 16:11, 2 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The flowers all around Wong are rather distracting and detract from the image as a whole. I'm not exactly sure what their purpose is...? Spencer^T♦C 02:01, 5 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
