  • I guess I'll jump in first. It has a somewhat unusual pattern - my instinct says half-toning, but it's actually not quite right for halftoning, so it may be one of the obscurer photographic printing techniques. In any case, it's decent resolution despite whatever that is; we've certainly had things where the film grain made the effective resolution substantially less. It does appear to be out of copyright, which, frankly, seems to be a major problem with photographs of Cocteau. I'm happy enough Supporting. Adam Cuerden (talk) 12:46, 21 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support per Adam. Reminds me of that Frenchman we had a few months ago... forget his name. Same pattern. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 04:45, 22 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
