- Info created by Peter Becker in 1889 - uploaded by Mylius - nominated by Horst-schlaemma.
Frankfurt panorama of the 17th century, 1889 watercolour by Peter Becker featuring the Alte Brücke.
Mylius said: It actually is an artist's impression from 1889 of Frankfurt (its suburbia Sachsenhausen respectively) as it looked like around 1600. But he didn't add any imagination, every single object that can be seen (i.e. the bridge tower, the bridge, the fortification, most of the buildings) is taken from historical descriptions / depictions of that time. -- Horst-schlaemma (talk) 09:34, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

- Conditional oppose Very nice, except for peculiarly looking horizontal and vertical defect lines (see annotations). Could this be retouched, please. If so, I am ready to support. I noticed a significant CCW tilt of the tower to the left. This may be there in the orginal as well. Is it possible to verify that? Just looks peculiar because other man made structures seem to have almost perfect vertical lines. --Slaunger (talk) 18:24, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
- Info It seems a matter of the original, as it's quite a big piece of work. For further information Mylius might help. Greets, Horst-schlaemma (talk) 20:25, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
- Comment I too think that restoration is not necessary. This appearance has a historical value. And I support as is this image --George Chernilevsky talk 08:11, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
- Question This looks very bright for a watercolor of its age. No notes on the file hosting page of whether this is a restored/edited file. Please explain? Durova (talk) 22:29, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
- Info Of course it's restored and edited, as Mylius always does. Greets, Horst-schlaemma (talk) 09:39, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose Undocumented restoration. Also no link to unaltered file. Please correct the omissions. Also technical shortcoming in color balance: right third has excessive red. Durova (talk) 17:06, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
