  • Comment, there are some compression artifacts (particularly visible in the darker parts). Is there an uncompressed or higher quality version available? --KFP (contact | edits) 17:01, 6 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

      • I looked at the image on that website but I still think this one is better.The one on the website looks like it needs alittle resortation Spongie555 (talk) 04:29, 7 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
        • The crop of this image looks quite cramped. The LOC ones have some more space (although they also have some white patch in the upper left corner). --KFP (contact | edits) 12:25, 7 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
          • Ya that what i noticed about the LOC one. There are alot of White patches on the LOC one. This one looks liked someone did some restoration. Spongie555 (talk) 04:05, 8 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose -- Good picture and important to articles, but I agree with the comments about tight cropping and artifacts. In my mind these issues prevent the image from being FP, especially since there are so many other early century B&W portrait photographs without these problems.
