Oppose - Unfortunately, this is a scan from a printed source - the print raster screen shows, causes moirés in reduced sizes, and the image appears a little washed out. --Janke | Talk 15:05, 17 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose – OK as a historical artifact and for illustrating relevant text, but subpar technically for an FP. – Sca (talk) 21:52, 17 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment – FWIW we have a FP of him here, but in black and white. Bammesk (talk) 11:59, 20 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Obvious historical interest; a shame this scan isn't up to the stellar image quality we have for some of P-G's other works. Reading around suggests that the glass slide for this is lost; though this looks like it may be a scan from an at least slightly superior original? TSP (talk) 16:02, 25 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
