•  Info created by D. Bernard & Co, Melbourne - restored, uploaded, and nominated by Adam Cuerden -- Adam Cuerden (talk) 01:33, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
•  Comment Something a bit unusual, but I think interesting as an example of how the entire bodybuilding movement got started. (Sandow was basically the first bodybuilder, and the early movement had rather a lot of these sorts of things.)

•  Oppose This is a good digital reproduction of the print, but imho the print itself is not a good reproduction of the original photograph. It's a heavily rastered newspaper-grade print and I doubt that this is an adequate representation of the original at least resolution-wise. Maybe I'm overly picky here, but I don't think we would feature a file showing Mona Lisa that is a scan from a printed art catalog rather than a direct digital reproduction of the original, would we? --El Grafo (talk) 09:01, 31 March 2016 (UTC)

   Question - Is the original photograph readily available? If so, I would agree with you. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:44, 1 April 2016 (UTC)

  Mmmmh, seems like this was explicitely shot for publication in this magazine, so it's quite possible that this is the only publicly available version. Starting to doubt my decision … --El Grafo (talk) 08:48, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
