•  Info created by C. M. Gilbert - restored, uploaded, and nominated by Adam Cuerden -- Adam Cuerden (talk) 06:07, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
•  Info Carte-de-visite mount, which adds context, methinks. Could always be CSS-cropped if it's ever undesireable. Since it sometimes gets brought up: It would be misleading as to the nature of the photograph to turn it to a pure black-and-white. Also, for anything before about 1930 or so, that has a tendency to kill detail, as sepia seems to have been balanced differently than a black-and-white image is, as it allows additional contrast through varying saturation.

•  Oppose Source photo is missing top and LHS and after restoration still missing some frame. Not one of the finest on Commons. Why do you think it is a carte de visite? Wikipedia says they went out of popularity in the 1870s. Charlesjsharp (talk) 11:45, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

Source photo is here --Wilfredor (talk) 12:15, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

• @Charlesjsharp: That's the name of that type of mount. They're pretty common. https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b84245811.r=photograph?rk=257512;0 Here's one from 1890. They may not have been used as carte-de-visites at that point, but carte-de-visite mounts were, and this is clearly an example. Adam Cuerden (talk) 13:05, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

• OK, you must have more info than I could find. How do you know original was carte-de-visite size, not the larger cabinet card? I thought the image came from a reproduction in a book, in which case the original size could not be determined. Charlesjsharp (talk) 13:51, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

• @Charlesjsharp: You are probably right that it's probably not the tiny size of the original carte-de-visites, but the term was used for cabinet cards as well, e.g. Brady's Imperial Carte-de-Visites. If you're asking for a file name change, I'm fine with that. Adam Cuerden (talk) 21:51, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

•  Support Good restoration work, non-destructive, maybe it is not the best photo in the world but what I am rewarding here is the restoration professionally done. It would be good to see the same level of restoration in other photos of greater importance --Wilfredor (talk) 12:15, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

•  Info to Adam When you move file and the nomination page during the nom, the file gets a redirect but the nom page is only used in this list so the old page is totally redundant. These days, since we file movers can do so, I usually uncheck the "create a redirect" box, so I don't have to bother an admin about removing the redundant page when I fix file rename during a nom for other users. And of course, you have to change to the new file and nomination name everywhere in the code on the nom page, so the bot will be place the star on the right page. It's always tricky to do a rename during a nom. Most users don't get it right. It looks like this will work though. --Cart (talk) 23:16, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

@W.carter: I did try to be diligent here. I just mistook the nominaion redirect for a file redirect, didn't see the "global usage", and wanted to make sure everything had updated. Better to be diligent than break things, after all, and never hurts to doublecheck if it's your file. Adam Cuerden (talk) 21:38, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

Yes, thanks, I know and I understand. :-) I was mostly explaining why I put the delete on the page since I do this routine so often for renamed nomination. --Cart (talk) 21:49, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
