  • Support - Nice image restoration. --Godot13 (talk) 01:51, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak support – Good image and good restoration. I still cannot get over the backrest extending high above his shoulders, it looks like wings or some kind of armor! sorry. This image: [1] is better, not sure it is sharp enough though. Bammesk (talk) 19:33, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Bammesk: That one really doesn't have any detail. It's very posterised, or at least grainy. I looked at it and rejected it for that reason. Adam Cuerden (talk) 19:52, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
      • Agreed. Bammesk (talk) 20:08, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
        • @Bammesk: By the way, now I see the chair only that way too... Adam Cuerden (talk) 02:48, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
          • I can get behind this [2] or this [3] composition-wise, but I hear you about the technical problems. Bammesk (talk) 03:15, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
            • Unfortunately, those will pretty much never be featured quality, and as a Briton, the resources are buried a lot harder than they would be for a country that releases its archives. Adam Cuerden (talk) 07:46, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
