Charles Darwin caricature

**Original** - Caricature of Charles Darwin from *Vanity Fair*, September 1871.

Reason: As Darwin Day approaches, Ragesoss located a high resolution version of an 1871 caricature from Vanity Fair. Is there room for two FPs on him in different styles and media? You decide. Restored version of File:VanityFair-Darwin.jpg.

Support a greatly improved image of this cartoon, not quite as nice as the 1880 photo, but great if we can have both. . dave souza, talk 21:08, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support, excellent restoration. TAway (talk) 03:54, 21 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support, although I wouldn't mind a bit wider crop so the black borders of show on the left and right.--ragesoss (talk) 16:54, 21 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- A lot of pre-twentieth century borders are a hair off from true parallel and perpendicular, which looks awkward to viewers in our era. Durova^Charge! 19:04, 21 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Regretful oppose - there's a texture to this that doesn't look quite right from what I've seen of Vanity Fair. Not much that can be done about that, either. I also don't think it's as good of a caricature as Vanity Fair normally managed. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 18:46, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Mediocre quality, mediocre cartoon. Interesting nonetheless. smooth0⁷0₇ (talk) 04:52, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom. Question: is there a limit to how many FPs can portray one subject? I'm kind of joking, but also kind of not... ~ ωαdεstεr16_«talk^stalk» 09:00, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Request This candidacy has been open since 20 January and has received plenty of responses. Requesting closure before Darwin Day? Durova^Charge! 08:12, 6 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
