Support as nominator – ―Howard • 🌽³³ 08:57, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Howardcorn33: Okay, this is weird: The copy available on the Library of Congress, uncropped, is 4269 x 3038 px. This one is 5,276 × 3,618 px. However, if you look below the hand on the sign on the left, you will see a majorly blurry section. Not blurry as in the photo is blurry; the grain disappears. That's not in the current LoC copy. Given the grain size of the photo; I'm inclined to say the LoC copy is amply sized, and would probably choose a better scan over theoretical resolution.

I agree, LoC copy is better. I would support if it's nominated. Bammesk (talk) 12:50, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I wish you had said that sooner. I'll upload my restoration tomorrow. Sorry, Howard! Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.9% of all FPs.} 18:15, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
