Original – French General Georges Ernest Boulanger, whose attempts to bring back monarchism and conservatism to France created a crisis in the republic.
Reason
I think it's a fine image; I mean, it's by Nadar, and the old image was rather degraded and lacked a source, which is always a bad thing. I like it. Nice composition. I mean, he's probably not that good of person: He's part of a failed proto-fascist takeover of France, but I'm the editor of the featured pictures section of the Bugle, and I'm not sure we've had a single MILHIST FP yet this month. Eep. [ETA: Well, we have that WASP documentary, but still...]
