•  Info created by Pierre Petit - uploaded, stitched, restored and nominated by me -- Jebulon (talk) 21:53, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
•  Support The full version, high resolution, restored, of the famous photograph (albumen print) of Hector Berlioz by Pierre Petit. Remember that this picture was taken in 1863. The original (frame also cropped) is available as first version in the file page. Uncropped version available by following the link.-- Jebulon (talk) 21:53, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
•  Support High quality, good restoration. --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 01:52, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
•  Comment It is a bit too yellow for me, and it would be much better on grayscale. Sorry. Yann (talk) 08:59, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
  • Thanks for review but you are technically wrong I'm afraid. Obviously, you did not see the original... Please notice that the "sepia" color is a choice of the photographer, and is not due to age. Of course, I could desaturate it entirely and make a perfect B&W picture, but it should be a treason...--Jebulon (talk) 11:05, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
    • I changed my vote to comment. I made a grayscale version, and I think it is better, but if the original was like this, I don't oppose. Yann (talk) 13:51, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
      • Thanks. Following discussion on your talk page.--Jebulon (talk) 14:46, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

Alternative

The same image in grayscale.

•  Support I think it is better in grayscale. Good restoration anyway. Yann (talk) 09:07, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
• The lead picture at Hector Berlioz taken almost at same times is also in sepia; so I assume Jeb's argument is right. JKadavoor Jee 11:31, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
•  Oppose Sorry no, per above, per our discussion on Yann's talk page, and links provided, giving the evidence that the original author could do this (me too...), and made another choice...--Jebulon (talk) 12:28, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
