Reason: Very notable British suffragette; good-quality photo, with the chiaroscuro effect so beloved at the time.
Articles in which this image appears: Emmeline Pankhurst
FP category for this image: Tricky; but perhaps Wikipedia:Featured pictures/People/Political, given it was essentially a campaign to change the law, and she worked in politics after suffrage passed.
Creator: Matzene (Chicago); restored by Adam Cuerden

Support – High EV, good detail for the era. (Not sure © Matzene Chicago needs to be there; pic is more than 100 years old.) Sca (talk) 13:15, 13 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It could be removed, but I tend to leave on photographer's identification markings, as part of the image's presentation. This one is borderline, though. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 16:49, 13 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

My reaction is, it doesn't really add anything relevant to the content of the photo, and it's a little bit distracting. If this were being used to illustrate types of early 20th C. photos, etc., that would be different.
Definitely a face with a lot of character. Sca (talk) 18:14, 13 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support – Love Mrs Pankhurst, and agree on the removal of the fussy photography credit. Vesuvius Dogg (talk) 20:08, 13 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Besides, not everyone has a name like Emmeline. (Didn't Chuck Berry do a song about her?) Sca (talk) 21:13, 13 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support – But I agree with the removal of the copyright tag, since it has nothing to do with the person in question, and detracts from the overall image. Mattximus (talk) 23:25, 13 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Sca, Vesuvius Dogg, Jobas, Mattximus, and Crisco 1492: I removed the copyright note. It was hand-drawn on anyway. Also futzed with a light vertical line on her dress. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 15:19, 14 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Looks fine. Sca (talk) 15:38, 14 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Good work, Adam, and thank you for this one. I'm a collector of photographic carte-des-visites and own another image of Mrs Pankhurst. This one is better. Vesuvius Dogg (talk) 16:25, 14 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Vesuvius Dogg: Well, if you have any that do need a little restoration, scan them at about 300-600dpi, and I'm happy to go to work. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 17:06, 14 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
