OriginalEdgar Allan Poe, Annie daguerreotype, c. 1849
Reason
The last one failed along with a few others in a temporary slowup in voting. It had four votes of support. After a commons run of the image that was extremely positive, it's clear the first vote here was wrong. Also consider a Google image search for him which makes it fairly clear this is far better than any other available image for the purposes most people want it for.
