Original – The Turgot map of Paris (full map) WARNING: 850 MB!
Reason
Highly detailed reproduction of this historic map. Last nomination (Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Turgot map of Paris) ended up inconclusive (4-1) however I feel this set still merits the star. This is a set nomination. The full image and all 20 individual plates above (20 images altogether) are all nominated.

  • From the article: "Additionally, there is one simplified general map with a 4 x 5 grid showing the layout of the 20 sectional maps" - shouldn't this be included in the set and on the page as well? Otherwise, looking at the images, I mean, you could restore them a bit. There are some spots and such, but they're so high-detail that it doesn't entirely seem worth it. But I would like to know about the missing piece. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.9% of all FPs 12:45, 13 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    One of the images is of two pieces: File:Turgot map of Paris, sheet 18-19 - Norman B. Leventhal Map Center.jpg. MER-C 12:15, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    I believe Adam's referring to File:Turgot map Paris KU general map.jpg. The other sheets make up a single whole, so it makes sense for them to be nominated together, but personally I'm ambivalent on whether the key sheet should be included - it could be for completeness, but it doesn't have the same value as the main work. It doesn't currently appear in the article, and I can't see why it would ever appear in any other article. TSP (talk) 16:47, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    I think it clearly should appear in the article, as it's explicitly discussed. If it's not there as an image, we should at least wikilink the file to the text describing it. For consistency, I used File:Turgot_map_of_Paris,_general_map_-_Norman_B._Leventhal_Map_Center.jpg. I'd like to see that added to the set, but I think, to avoid nom derailment, I'll just nominate that to be added to the set after this closes.

  • Support as before - great work, and already spawning derivatives that add to a range of articles (e.g. Place Dauphine, Louvre Palace). I'm sure intelligent editors can find a way to feature it on the Main Page - any one of these sheets would be featurable. TSP (talk) 00:41, 14 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - I love the image, but I would like to see it as a single file. The 850MB one is a bit large, indeed, but we have a handy tool for that, which I think is preferable to requiring the user to open each segment separately. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 23:21, 16 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • As I recall, we traditionally allow sets in odd cases like this, even when the smaller subsections aren't used. It doesn't come up often, though. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.9% of all FPs 09:40, 17 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
      • @Rhododendrites: In case it's not clear, the single combined image is part of the nomination, as well as each of the individual sheets. TSP (talk) 12:35, 17 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
        • strong support for the single whole map. oppose individual segments. I love the image but I don't like the idea of promoting an image (or 19) that cannot stand on it's own. I.e. I have a hard time conceiving of a set in which each component wouldn't have a shot at being promoted on its own. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 00:03, 18 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
