Panoramic view of Milwaukee, Wis.

Reason

Panorama of Milwaukee, from the Library of Congress archives. Proposed caption:

This 1898 chromolithographic panorama of Milwaukee, Wisconsin shows the German Renaissance Revival style City Hall in front center. By the mid-19th century, Wisconsin and the Milwaukee area had become the final destination of many German immigrants fleeing the Revolution of 1848. One of the most salient consequences of this migration was the emergence of a brewing industry in Milwaukee, such as the establishment of the Pabst, Schlitz, Blatz and Miller breweries, all established by German immigrants between 1840 and 1855.

Strong Support That is a lovely image. Colour prints of that period tend to have very bright colours, but this one uses the bright colours well, unlike some I've seen (I'm afraid I can't provide an example of what I refer to, because I don't grab copies of things I dislike unless they're historically significant). Anyway, I babble a bit, but seeing such a good image produced by a technique that's difficult to get really good images from doubles the value. Adam Cuerden ^talk 15:13, 14 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support - let me add the quality of the scan at 100% zoom is incredibly good. Well done. Zakolantern 17:23, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support, being familiar with the typical quality of such panoramas in physical form (yellowed, dirty, cracked paper, smudged ink, etc.) this is fantastic. Thanks for finding it, the LOC does good work. It could probably be used to illustrate articles like panorama as well; there's nothing in there from this important genre. --Dhartung | Talk 09:33, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support It's remarkably hard to find fault in an image like this. Chris Buttigieg 15:13, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
