Uncle Lubin in his flying machine

Original – Uncle Lubin in his flying machine by W. Heath Robinson (1902). Uncle Lubin has many adventures while searching for his little nephew including tangling with a sea monster and travelling to the moon; then again, who hasn't done that?

Reason: W. Heath Robinson is the British Rube Goldberg but as well as outlandish devices for accomplishing everyday tasks he also wrote and illustrated some children's book of which The Adventures of Uncle Lubin is my favourite. This is picture is probably the best for showing Uncle Lubin himself, but maybe one day some brave person will nominate the whole set of illustrations from Uncle Lupin as they are all fantastic (in both senses of the word)
Articles in which this image appears: Just W. Heath Robinson at the moment; Chris Woodrich will no doubt try to bully me into doing an article on the book and I'm easily bullied.

Sadly I must oppose owing to harsh JPG artefacting, as well as poor sourcing ("books" doesn't help much").23:26, 24 July 2015 (UTC)

Comment: I can't see any JPG artefacting... it could be a tiny bit sharper, but artefacts? Still though - I'll abstain from voting until better sourcing is provided SkywalkerPL (talk) 21:26, 30 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Look at the area where the lines are close together. It may not be readily visible at 100%, but they are there, and causing the unsharpness in that area. 06:16, 31 July 2015 (UTC)

Really, non-factor, IMHO. It's visible only in a few places and you really need to stare at 100% to see anything. SkywalkerPL (talk) 08:16, 31 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't have to stare. I saw it right away. But either way the sourcing needs to be better. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 08:52, 31 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
