Original – Ambroise Thomas, c. 1895, wearing his Légion d'honneur medals

Reason: A fine image of a fairly important Romantic-era composer. Colours are a little odd, but appear to be the original, so I didn't touch them. I did lighten the border outside the card a little bit, but haven't tweaked colours beyond that.

Support - Brilliant. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 06:44, 21 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support but you can date that photo to after 1894 (and before 1896 obviously!) as he has the Grand Croix badge (look at me, the medal expert). Belle (talk) 09:46, 21 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Excellent point! Thanks! I had presumed the BNF dates were as accurate as possible, but I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, given some of the documentation there. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 11:25, 21 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
