OriginalThe Battle of Spottsylvania[sic] by Thure de Thulstrup
Not for voting: previous version (see unsuccessful FPC nomination)
Reason
As regular FPC participants know, longtime contributor and image restorer Adam Cuerden has retired from Wikipedia. However, he has continued his image restoration work and posts them now to his DeviantArt site. He recently contacted me to offer any restorations that he hadn't already uploaded for Wikipedia articles, and this one here is a real gem. The colors are vibrant and lifelike, and you can make out the texture of the paper when viewed full-size. This replaces another restored version of this image (also done by Adam), at right.
