Comment Southworth & Hawes was an early photographic firm in Boston. They have been hailed as the first great American masters of photography, whose daguerreotype work elevated photographic portraits to the level of fine art.
Comment Susan B. Anthony (February 15, 1820 – March 13, 1906) was a prominent American civil rights leader who played a pivotal role in the 19th century women's rights movement to introduce women's suffrage into the United States. She traveled the United States, and Europe, and gave 75 to 100 speeches every year on women's rights for 45 years.

Oppose - very blurred in too many places (obviously a fault of the methods available at the time, but it doesn't make for a good pic) - MPF (talk) 08:19, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

- Comment. I wonder if the photo wouldn't benefit from restoration? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 23:12, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
Oppose Blurry on the shoulder, distracting shadow in the corner, overall not very photogenic. --The High Fin Sperm Whale 05:18, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
Support I love the shallow field of focus, as it adds to the period authenticity. Her near shoulder and her far eye are blurry, and this aspect is perfectly appropriate for the method and the day. Beyond that, Anthony's graceful swan-like neck and her satisfied air are beautiful reminders of the power she held. Fantastic! Binksternet (talk) 04:01, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
Support We shouldn't oppose simply because the image is of a historic person, and ths used old equipment! We lack time machines. Adam Cuerden (talk) 16:40, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
