Frontispiece to same by Walter Sydney Stacey.
- Reason
- Two rather attractive late-Victorian illustrations to Charles Kingsley's Westward Ho!. Haven't actually been in a week, but given the last edit to the article was a minor tweak six months ago... I'm not too worried about them getting pulled. I think this is a better illustration to the content of the novel than the Wyeth cover for once, but I would like to get all the Wyeth illustrations into a gallery in that article if I can get good copies.

- Comment: Just to be clear, are these your scans? If not, where are they from? (Also, I'm left feeling the "it's either this or this" license isn't ideal for FPC). J Milburn (talk) 16:37, 30 May 2014 (UTC)
- They are, indeed, my scans. And as for the "this-or-this", that's actually commons policy: You must provide both an American and source country license tag, and only a very few auto-combine. The cover is slightly more complicated than the normal, as the artist is not credited, but the artist of the other illustration is, and may be the same, so I wanted to be clear that both possibilities lead to it being out of copyright. This has been done with several FPs in the past (e.g. File:Britain_Needs_You_at_Once_-_WWI_recruitment_poster_-_Parliamentary_Recruiting_Committee_Poster_No._108.jpg.

- Thanks for the clarification. I've added a note to the image pages indicating that they are your scans. J Milburn (talk) 08:18, 31 May 2014 (UTC)

- I like to scan at 600dpi, because why not? Adam Cuerden (talk) 22:52, 31 May 2014 (UTC)
