Dogcart

Original - Belgian milk peddlers with a dogcart, c. 1890-1900.

Edit 1 - streaks at upper right repaired.

Reason: Large, good quality photochrom file from approximately 110 years ago showing two peddlers selling milk from a dogcart. The proportions of the cart and its harness are clearly depicted, as is the act of selling milk in this historic setting near Brussels, Belgium. Restored version of Image:Dogcart.jpg.

Comment Can anything be done about the darkening in the upper right corner? Spikebrennan (talk) 13:50, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Which area specifically do you mean? Durova^Charge! 16:55, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The sky and the grassy area to the right of the dirt path. They darken towards the right edge of the image, which I'm guessing is damage to the original rather than the way the original was originally printed. Support edit 1Spikebrennan (talk) 23:11, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support. High encyclopedic value for its uses in Dogcart and Peddler, and a lovely image. It's amazing how similar in style and subject a lot of photochroms are to paintings of the same time period.--ragesoss (talk) 21:59, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Oppose for weak composition. Greener Cactus (talk) 20:11, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Support Edit 1. It's a very nice and encyclopedic image, but I can't give it my full support because I feel the darkening image hasn't been addressed enough, especially in the lower right of the image. The path also gets darker, but the edit didn't change that at all. However, this could merely be shadows or something, so I can't oppose on those grounds.

Oppose. I have trouble believing the colour of the milk containers (and the hats, for that matter, but the milk containers are a more central subject). For me, this image treads an uneasy ground between artwork and photography, and I think that message needs to be clear in the captions in all articles - that the colours are likely inaccurate. We unambiguously label all other artwork and false colour images in the captions afaik. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 10:09, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
