Original – Jules Massenet by the first video pornographer Eugène Pirou. The article on Pirou focuses so heavily on his pornography that I didn't dare add the photo to his page.

Reason: By far the best of the images I can find for Massenet. Delicate photography combined with a natural pose; everything else was either really odd photographic artefacts, or weird poses. Major composer, certainly deserves our attention. (Also, any crop desired can be done with {{CSS image crop}}, if the carte de visite mount is not desirable for some use.)

Support - I thought it was perhaps a pixel or two wonky, but after checking properly it wasn't. My eyes must just be playing tricks on me! Miyagawa (talk) 20:03, 7 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- @Miyagawa: I think the different parts aren't perfectly aligned. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 23:32, 7 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  - Ah, fair enough then. Miyagawa (talk) 13:14, 8 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support as per nom. It's really quite a nice photograph for the age.... Mattximus (talk) 22:37, 7 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support – for article use, I think this edit [1] is easier on the eyes. Bammesk (talk) 05:48, 9 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't want to go too far and make the photograph look like a different type of photo, though. I mean, all the details are visible in both, it's just darkness of moustache. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 07:41, 9 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
