Original – Pittsburgh in 1902, a lithographic print by Thaddeus Mortimer Fowler.
Reason
This has been standing at the top of the History of Pittsburgh article for ages, but in an incredibly bad reproduction. It seemed well worth providing a good copy of it. Now, this is a sort of colour convention I don't imagine most of you would be used to: It's made of three inks, roughly speaking, blue, yellow-orange, and black, which leads to a slightly odd-looking colour palate, but it's authentic, so...

  • Support although I should note, for the record, that existing FP File:Pittsburgh, Allegheny & Birmingham.jpg is fairly similar. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:40, 4 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • If by similar you mean completely different angle, a different artist and thirty years earlier... Adam Cuerden (talk) 01:42, 4 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      • "Fairly" similar, as in the same subject and same medium. Not that I think it affects the value of this image. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:48, 4 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support looks good. --Pine✉ 07:18, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. Excellent detail and light-years ahead of the previous image. Is the image slightly lacking in colour saturation, or was the previous image oversaturated? Ðiliff «» (Talk) 12:15, 11 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Pretty sure the previous was oversaturated. This is fairly typical colours for this sort of lithograph, in my experience. Adam Cuerden (talk) 14:51, 11 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. Excellent and very detailed image. --Carioca (talk) 19:44, 11 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
