• Comment The image is sourced to a blog. Is there no better source for it? Durova³¹⁴ 00:51, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
  • It appears the restoration was partly done by the bloggers (and partly by the uploader), but the original can be sourced to the LOC. J Milburn (talk) 19:00, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

• Oppose Resolution is not what is expected of historical pictures and I find the EV to be very weak. --Muhammad(talk) 14:03, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

I downloaded the unrestored 10,309x7,684 version, it's quite ugly and huge to work on. Brand[t] 17:25, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

• Support, illustrates the subject well. Mostlyharmless (talk) 02:39, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
• Oppose. Sorry, but agree with Muhammad. I'm not so worried about size (it is well within guidelines), but not at all sold on EV, and quality is quite poor, especially across the top and upper left. Also overly tight cropping top and bottom. --jjron (talk) 07:34, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
• Oppose, particularly with nominators note that there is a bigger version out there. It's a big job, but somebody's gotta' do it. Staxringold _talk^contribs 13:53, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
