Reason: Knowing this was the subject of a current featured article candidate, I couldn't resist helping out with a restoration of the lead image. It's not quite as good of a scan as Odin, but it's still a 105 megapixel scan, so there's quite sufficient quality. PNG will go up after any comments are dealt with.

- I'll make a borderless version of this one tomorrow. The border's a lot more worn on this one, so I think it's more of a candidate for a crop. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 03:15, 14 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support Agree that losing the border may be best here. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 03:19, 14 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Agree also that the border needs to go. Officially no vote at the moment, as I don't vote on versions I haven't seen yet, and I'd likely oppose the current version if I had to make a choice. Sᴠᴇɴ Mᴀɴɢᴜᴀʀᴅ Wha? 03:57, 14 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support — Alt. 1 (sans frame). Much better, meiner Meinung. Sca (talk) 16:42, 14 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support for Alt. 1 Really lovely work, but I think the image works better without the frame/border. Miyagawa (talk) 12:47, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support Alt. 1, much better in appearance. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 04:02, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
