Reason: And now for something completely different! But not yet! This is both a good image of the ship, a rather attractive background, and a nice example of the author's work (I think it's the only really good one we have, really). It has a lot of artistic merit as well, in my opinion.

Support - Obviously. And knowing Parsecboy, once he really buckles down on the article, we'll have FPs in FAs, and later FPs in FAs in an FT. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 04:37, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support Good work as with the others, and the image has an interesting composition too. Miyagawa (talk) 12:52, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support - Amazing scan and restoration, good quality and large resolution. --///EuroCarGT 14:53, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment — I don't like this one as well as the other two because the composition is full of distractions or 'noise.' Too much going on! (It would be better without the hokey beams from Miss Liberty's lamp.) Sca (talk) 16:55, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- It's an illustration of its period, although somewhat ahead of its time - you see a lot of this sort of thing about two decades later. In any case, it illustrates the artist well. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 17:14, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support, both a fine image of the ship and a stunning example of the art style. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 04:05, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
