- Reason
- A wonderfully encyclopedic view of an interesting example of trickery from the American Civil War. One quick note: The blurry figure at the back is someone who moved; it would be inappropriate to "fix" this issue.
- This restoration forms part of Operation Brothers at War, a collaboration in rememberance of the American Civil War on its ongoing 150th year anniversary

- Support Good quality picture with very high EV (note that this photo shows the fake guns emplaced as if they were an actual front-line battery, and shows how convincing they would have been to enemy scouts) Nick-D (talk) 11:41, 17 September 2014 (UTC)
- Another one that I'm going to do as a second project is File:Quaker Gun2.jpg, which shows the extra detail on the bits that stuck out of the fort. But first, I have a few things I put off. This was my choice for what I wanted to do as my return to restoring images after a long month, but I'd best get some of the delayed images done before continuing. =) Adam Cuerden (talk) 11:47, 17 September 2014 (UTC)
- I was hoping to hear that one was going to be done, too. (I think it's a fairly humorous image). 24.222.214.125 (talk) 20:28, 17 September 2014 (UTC)
