InfoLewis and Clark's map of their expedition, published 1814. Meriwether Lewis, William Clark, Nicholas Biddle, and Paul Allen. Uploaded by Brian0918 - nominated by Durova --Durova 16:51, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
Support --Durova 16:51, 31 January 2008 (UTC)- Support The very definition of an FP. Nice scan, beautifully made, greatly illustrative and a bloody lot of value :) Freedom to share 19:18, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
Neutral I don't like the artificial and 'dead' grey background (a result of editing?), but the sharpness is stunning and the documentary value of the document is huge. -- MJJR 20:05, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
- To the best of my knowledge, no editing has been done on this one. What makes you propose that it's artificial? Durova 20:17, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
- At the least, the colour saturation seems te be completely turned off. -- MJJR 20:37, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Comment The Library of Congress has a version here (and a slightly different one here, published in London), with a different background color. Carl Lindberg 22:37, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
- Right you are; I hadn't seen that. Would you be of assistance uploading that version? My software doesn't recognize the file format. Durova 00:36, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
- Uploaded here (the LoC version is JPEG2000). I cropped it and tried to sharpen it a bit, but I'm really not good at that kind of thing. It is not quite as sharp as the one above (which I think was scaled down a bit to help sharpen it). I can upload the unsharpened one if you like. Carl Lindberg 02:49, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks, that'd be good. I'm thinking whether to do a restoration on this. Durova 03:32, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
- Okay, uploaded a version which is just converted to JPG, no cropping or sharpening, on top of that one. Carl Lindberg 04:00, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
