- Reason
- Cathedrals play a major role in the history of Western architecture, but this appears to be Wikipedia's first image of an actual craftsman at work building one. Interesting textures in this depiction of traditional craftsmanship methods. Restored version of Image:Stonemasonry.jpg.
- Articles this image appears in
- Stonemasonry and Cathedral of Saint John the Divine, New York.

- Support Wow. That's about all I can say. On a side note, (tongue in cheek) if you keep uploading this many nice pictures, people are going to start being excessively picky about them. Another good find and excellent restore. Clegs (talk) 20:19, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

- Oppose magnificent architecture and clearly a lot of effort has been put into the resoration, but i don't like the curved lines running through the image, I also dont like the way its been lit it looks overexposed --Hadseys (talk • contribs) 16:12, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
- Support Not the greatest of pictures but, as the nom pointed out, we can forgive that considering the historical aspect of the photo. Very informative, and the only picture in stonemasonry which shows the actual process. faithless (speak) 05:32, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
