Republican costume by David

Original - Design for a Republican costume by Jacques-Louis David. Hand-coloured engraving by Denon (1794)

Not for voting - unrestored original for comparison

Reason

Encyclopedic engraving by Denon of a drawing by David for a costume for peoples' reprensentatives.

Minimal restoration: stains and dust removed, cropped/rotated, contrast enhanced. Chose to keep paper grain, not to bleach paper to white and not to remove all traces of darkening towards the edges.

• Conditional support - It's very good, but the crop's a bit tight at the bottom. Recrop it so there's some space between the bottom of the f and the bottom of the image, and you have my vote. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 22:00, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
