- Reason
- The Library of Congress have a large, clearer copy of this available... but it's still the black and white image we see here. I think it's time to accept what's already standard practice on Wikipedia: The coloured version is by far preferred. I have not replaced any of the original image. I HAVE replaced the suggested replacement with a restored version, as I felt I should do the bit of work needed to really make it excellent.

- There is not enough support to replace the current featured picture, but it can't retain that status, as it isn't used in any article currently. --Armbrust The Homunculus 08:17, 20 December 2018 (UTC)
