  • Oppose and Speedy close - Way, way, way under the minimum resolution. Please acquaint yourself with the featured picture criteria before nominating any further images. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 04:22, 12 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - It's amazing how clear it is considering the low number of pixels. Perhaps that adds a softness to the lines. User:Crisco 1492 it can't be accepted even if it is a photo of historical value? Does that mean that no old photos can be accepted for Featured picture status?

    • The information template says that the National Library of France has this image. They've scanned most of their collection in high quality. The low resolution is certainly fixable. Also, something this low resolution would likely not pass even if it were completely irreplaceable. The nice thing about film images is that, if you scan the negatives, you can get some big and sharp files. (Also, the uploader says that s/he has an 8*10 glossy print... that's easily 2500 px long side when scanned) — Crisco 1492 (talk) 19:06, 12 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
