Ellen Terry 2

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 21 Nov 2014 at 14:04:05 (UTC)

Original – English stage actress Ellen Terry at age sixteen. At the time she had already become known for acting, but she left the stage soon after for married life... only to return less than a year later. Eventually she became the leading Shakespearean actress in Britain.

Reason

Previous nomination fell flat, but this is really a striking photograph and should have a second chance.

• Support Quite striking, indeed! WordSeventeen (talk) 18:52, 11 November 2014 (UTC)
• Support- Impressive, and considering that the photo is 150 years old makes it more so. Jusdafax 19:52, 11 November 2014 (UTC)
• Support as previously, thanks for renom. Brandmeister^talk 20:14, 11 November 2014 (UTC)
• Support: without question, absolutely beautiful photograph. Fylbecatulous talk 21:41, 11 November 2014 (UTC)
• Support - cropped and heavily retouched version of the original here. The nature of the retouching at the bottom of the print suggests that this print was made from a copy negative of a retouched print (inked lines are dark, whereas they'd be white if they were on the negative).
