- Reason
- While the age - 1870 - is somewhat going against the image quality: The original negatives, if they exist, tend to be far, far better than actual prints can be from that age - I think the quality of the image shines through. We also get a really good look, on her left-hand side (right as you're looking at it) at an example of one of the devices meant to help the sitter stay still long enough for the lengthy exposure cameras of the period needed. It's a very nice photograph of a notable person. One could argue as to whether this was intended to be cropped; if you want an alt, we can consider File:Edmonia Lewis by Henry Rocher (cropped).jpg

- Support – Not the world's greatest pic., but after all it's c. 1870. (Could be cropped a bit from top.) Fascinating and comprehensive bio article of a very interesting person most of us never have heard of. – Sca (talk) 13:32, 12 February 2022 (UTC)
