A photo of a poster or another photo is not what I understand about photography. It is just a reproduction. Sorry about my harsh opinion. --Johann Jaritz (talk) Johann Jaritz 03:17, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

@Johann Jaritz: But this isn't, and never has been solely about photography. It's meant to include all images: graphs, photography, illustrations, and, yes, reproductions of historic advertisements. Adam Cuerden (talk) 10:37, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

@Adam Cuerden: Then I take my harsh critics back and I apologize for that. --Johann Jaritz (talk) Johann Jaritz 11:05, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

@Johann Jeritz: No worries! Adam Cuerden (talk) 15:17, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

•  Oppose Sorry. The cuts are a bit crude. Kleuske (talk) 21:47, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
  • @Kleuske: While I agree, that's fairly typical of ephemera; it would be misleading to change that. Restoration is one thing: these were mass produced, after all, so we can reasonably ask for an idealised copy. Changing them into something else is misleading, though. Adam Cuerden (talk) 10:37, 10 August 2015 (UTC)
    • That's a fine reasoning for keeping (and using) this image. However, we're talking about "some of the finest on Commons". This just doesn't qualify as such for the reasons mentioned. Kleuske (talk) 11:21, 10 August 2015 (UTC)
      • @Kleuske: I would have said this was one of the finest images of display advertising from the early 20th century we had. But, then, I'm more used to en-wiki, where encyclopedic and illustrative value are actually considered. Adam Cuerden (talk) 15:17, 10 August 2015 (UTC)
