- Reason
- High-res scan of the original drawing for a cartoon by Charles Dana Gibson, one of the premier cartoonists of the late-19th–early-20th centuries. Famous for his Gibson Girl, this cartoon shows the range of types and expressions Gibson was capable of. Gibson's signature hatching is clearly reproduced.

- Support, though I find that this has more EV in Gibson's article than in Women in United States juries (which desperately needs expanding). — Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:18, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
- I have no idea why the LoC let this happen, but they cropped off the left and right edges of the artwork. That's the LoC's fault, though. Weak oppose, but this really is a heartbreaker. Adam Cuerden (talk) 16:00, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose - It is blurry down the edges, and the containing border drawn by the artist and integral to the artwork has been removed. So has part of the figure to the left. Also, it is seen here on a stark white background. These images were originally o paper with an ivory or buff tint. The artist composed for a coloured background, not for a white background.
