Assassination of President James Garfield

Original - James A. Garfield leaning against James G. Blaine as Charles Guiteau is restrained in the background

Reason

I think this is a good historical image of a highly significant event. The resolution just barely squeaks by, but I think the quality checks out. It was previously nominated, but failed after several editors disagreed with the quality of the scan. I disagree; I think it is good and clear.

• Oppose I would expect a little higher resolution for this image. A better scan would also allow for restoration as well: the image shows what appear to be some crease marks. Here is a different depiction of the same event that may be more suitable for FP. Very high resolution. Jujutacular ^talk 02:01, 1 October 2011 (UTC)
