United States President Rutherford B. Hayes
Reason
While the restoration of the face is very good, something has gone terribly wrong in the upper right of the background. The original has a relatively smooth background, that the restoration turns into a mess. I think that the clone stamp was used where a healing brush should have been used. This is rather a pity: The face looks great, although a lot more flyspecking would be needed to get the rest of the image up to a modern FP state, and the damaged background largely precludes it anyway. I'll try to do something with this eventually.
