Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Harry Houdini

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Harry Houdini (1874-1926) Promotional photo from ca. 1899.
Harry Houdini (1874-1926) same image as above from Library of Congress, but the version from LoC is flipped so it was left as is. This appears to be the correct orientation; cf [1].
Reason
Best portrait of Houdini "at work" in Wikipedia. 992 px tall, which is just a hair under the requirements. There's some schmutz on the image, but this is a scan of an 1899 image.
