 Comment A stunning photochrom of a very famous German landmark. Not only a clear and beautiful example of a photochrom image from the turn of the century, but also a valuable record of how this castle looked shortly after completion. In addition, this is currently the only image on Commons that gives a head-on view of the castle. Also nominated on en wikipedia.-Sarfa 05:52, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

•  Support Historically interesting and surprisingly good technical quality considering the original is more than 100 years old. Technically it does not fulfill many of the technical guidelines, but IMO the historical value is a sufficiently strong mitigating reason. -- Slaunger 21:10, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

•  Oppose Though convinced of the historical relevance, I find the quality severely lacking for an FP (the best commons can offer???). Lycaon 12:37, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Really, it's fantastic quality considering it came from a photochrom print produced around 110 years ago, no? --Ben^hello! 05:31, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

•  Comment This is one of the about 14,000 (!) Photochroms published between 1887 and 1914. Photochrom images are state of the art achievements both in photography and lithographic printing. Actually most of them are FP worthy. So why choose that one in particular? About the copyright question: Photochroms were published in Europe by Photoglob in Zürich and in the U.S. by the Detroit Photographic Company (with a license from Photoglob). The pictures are more than 100 years old, and the names of the photographers are not known - except for most of the views of the U.S. which were made by William Henry Jackson. So, the European pictures can be considered as belonging to the public domain. On the other hand, the Photoglob company still exists as a part of the Swiss publishing company Orell Füssli Holding AG: perhaps they have some rights yet? -- MJJR 09:03, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
•  Support - Wow, considering this is over a 100 years old it's really amazing - Husky ^{(talk to me)} 22:16, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

•  Oppose Like most of the Detroit Photographic Company postcards from the LoC this contains a lot of scanner dust, and it should be cleaned up before nominated. ~ trialsanderrors 04:20, 15 October 2007 (UTC) Voting time is allready over --Simonizer 19:51, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
