Emperor Franz-Joseph of Austria & his heir and successor Archduke Charles of Habsburg-Lothringen (Karl I)
  •  Info Scan, crop and levels adjustments by me. -- Jebulon (talk) 22:57, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Neutral -- Jebulon (talk) 22:57, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Question Not sure with size, is it enough ?
  •  Info very rare view of the old Emperor Franz Joseph and his successor Karl, in July 1914, a few days before the beginning of WW1. It's a press drawing made after a photograph, shown in the magazine "L'ILLUSTRATION" in the Album de la Grande Guerre in 1919. Notice that both are wearing the neck insigna of the "Golden Fleece"--Jebulon (talk) 22:57, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose artist not identified, Im sure it isnt the work of User:Jebulon even though the info template says ownwork and author:Jebulon I doubt we have contributors that would be well over 100years old Gnangarra 11:29, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment You're right, I'm old enough, but not so. I thought that the file description was informative enough. And I know that such oppositions are easy, because its avoid having an opinion about an unknown subject. But corrected now, as possible. The original on the magazine is unsigned.--Jebulon (talk) 12:30, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Clearly you werent the author, I had made the assupmtion that it was an honest error that could be addressed but until then I must oppose to indicate a significant issue with the image. How about some assumption of good faith in my comments, licensing and source details being correct are a more significant issue than image asthetics, remember given such impropriety in ownership I could have just deleted as a copyright violation. Gnangarra
  •  Oppose scan artifacts at full resolution; I'm not very impressed with the artist's rendering - it's okay, but IMO definitely not Feature Picture worthy. Perhaps you can find the original photograph? Also, your source description shouldn't be "own work" unless you drew it yourself; maybe say 'Scanned by Jebulon from a (personal? library?) copy of "L'ILLUSTRATION", 1919.'

  •  Comment if we can confirm the copyright status, I can probably advise Jebulon on making a better preparation, and help clean it up. Adam Cuerden (talk) 16:28, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • that would be positive move, Gnangarra 13:27, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      • I agree with pleasure. But is it anywhere here a reflexion or a debate about ethics and restoration ? I mean that the quality of a restored (scanned) image must not be better than the original one (sure) and not better than the actual state of it ( may be discussed)... And I've corrected, as possible, the file description. Threats, even implied, are useless. Même pas peur...--Jebulon (talk) 17:58, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Obviously an informative, rare and useful historical document, but too many wrong or incomplete informations in the original file description (corrected now, but...). Too many technical issues too, I need help for learning how to scan better. --Jebulon (talk) 09:38, 26 May 2010 (UTC)I  I withdraw my nomination[reply]
