OriginalAlbert Einstein 1921 by Ferdinand Schmutzer
Alt 1 - Restored version by Adam Cuerden
Reason
One of the few early photographs of Einstein available. Rediscovered in 2001 by the estate of Ferdinand Schmutzer. The image is being renominated following the resolution of a copyright problem which got in the way of the last nomination. I have chosen a sepia print because Schmutzer's 1921 etching (which incidentally 'publishes' the image under US case law thus making it PD regardless of other copyright considerations) is a sepia aquatint.

  • Yes, that's right. It's the nomination I mentioned above that got involved with a nomination for deletion on copyright concerns. That proved to be a somewhat complicated affair that took some time to resolve. Coat of Many Colours (talk) 04:51, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support restoration. Copyright looks to have been cleaned up, and the image is very good. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 03:30, 29 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
