•  Comment Forgot to mention that this is a historical photo and one of the earliest example of panorama work which explains the spacing between the sections of the panorama and the fadeout, that and the original panorama was done about 150+ years ago. Cat-five 02:12, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
  •  Comment I'd like to note that I have also nominated this for a featured picture up on Enwiki. Cat-five 02:17, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose it's a nice picture (I already added it about half a year ago to the german tokyo article), the historical value is really great, but given the really bad quality I don't think it should get fp-status. -- Gorgo 18:22, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
  • If this were a present day shot I'd agree wholeheartedly with you but the fact that this is from so long ago should be taken into account as well as the method used to make the panorama which is really part of the shot. Cat-five 08:17, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

•  Support there are lots of old panoramic pictures, probably not the best one but nevertheless this is a good one.Romary 09:31, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
•  Support The historical value is an overwhelmingly sufficient mitigating reason to support. If someone can provide a better equally historic panorama, then I'll consider withdrawing my support. -- Ram-Man 23:38, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose - ditto to Gorgo -- Lycaon 17:17, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
•  Support Priceless Masonbarge 19:05, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose No evidence of historical value. For instance, this panorama is 15 years older, eons in early photography. ~ trialsanderrors 04:19, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Though it's many months later and the vote long ago decided, I'd like to point out that the historical value of this panorama is, in fact, exceptional. There are extremely few photographs of Edo (i.e. pre-1867 Tokyo), and virtually no other panoramas of the city from that time - let alone photographs of such high aesthetic and technical quality as this (and others) by Felice Beato. Beato's images of Japan are unique views of the country before Meiji and "modernisation". Pinkville 18:46, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
