Support - excellent image. Nik thestoned 15:51, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunate oppose. The image contains stunning facial details (like the iris structure and little droplets in the eyes), but it was oversharpened. Her skin looks like she's been in a desert for a while (especially upon mild zooming). It is a historical image, and thus reality, not beauty, is essential. It can be fixed by editing before promotion, but not after (edits will simply be reverted). Materialscientist (talk) 05:13, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

FWIW, I don't see the oversharpening. Her skin looks amazingly life-like to my eye. Aaadddaaammm (talk) 08:17, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Apparently, it is PC-dependent (not the brightness; perhaps related to video driver or LCD screen, though the screen I used when writing my first comment is Ok), I would invite others to zoom and check. Materialscientist (talk) 03:33, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Questionable licensing. I'm not ready to accept that any pre-1977 (for no notice) or pre-1963 (for no renewal) promotional photo is PD, even one without a real source, without any proof of publication without a copyright marking, and without proof of non-renewal. Calliopejen1 (talk) 16:45, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I feel that this oppose is somewhat of a slippery slope. There was considerably less widespread knowledge about copyright when this was originally distributed. There is very little chance that a still such as this was ever given a copyright marking. To find proof that a marking was never applied is all but impossible, making such works (and there are many) unfeaturable. I feel that the extremely thorough breakdown on the file description is more than enough rationale for considering these works public domain. As for finding out whether there is copyright renewal on file, take a stab at this 65MB zip file of records. Jujutacular ^talk 05:19, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support – (assuming licensing is ok) Meets FPC criteria in my view. Sasata (talk) 17:49, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support - assuming copyright issues do not exist; the quality is excellent. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Clegs (talk • contribs) 11:36, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
