Info created by Le Petit Journal - uploaded, stitched, restored and nominated by me -- Jebulon (talk) 16:10, 28 June 2014 (UTC)
Support 1914/2014, june 28. One hundred years ago, almost at noon, the assassination of Archduke Francis-Ferdinand, heir of the thrones of Austria, Hungary and Bohemia, and of his wife Sophie Chotek, Duchess of Hohenberg, by a Serbian nationalist Gavrilo Princip, in Sarajevo, Bosnia-Herzegovina, was the event that triggered the beginning of the World War One, with the consequences we know. After a first unsuccessful bombing attempt in the morning, only two bullets were shot, one in the abdomen of the Duchess, one in the neck of the Prince, both died a few minutes later. This is a press view, and the design is wrong by many points (the Archduke did not wear such an uniform, but a blue-grey one, with no sash, and his trousers was black with red strips, for instance (see here), and Princip stayed at the other side of the car...), but it is an interesting report picture nevertheless, slightly restored by me. It has artistical, educational and historical very high values, IMO. Especially today, the day I chose for this nomination. -- Jebulon (talk) 16:10, 28 June 2014 (UTC)- Support I would edit the background color if possible. Good timing. ;oDYann (talk) 18:05, 28 June 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you. What do you mean exactly by "edit the background" ?--Jebulon (talk) 20:52, 28 June 2014 (UTC)
- Make it more white, like it was originally. Yann (talk) 06:06, 29 June 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for feedback. I've corrected the color balance but look: Papers of newspapers are (and were) of very bad quality, they were not white. The proof is that we have in this picture white parts: the uniform, and the smoke of the gun. Nonetheless, according to your request, I've reduced the saturation of the background, but I wish to keep the "vintage" aspect of this naive picture...--Jebulon (talk) 10:32, 29 June 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks, it looks better IMO. Yann (talk) 20:15, 29 June 2014 (UTC)
