No restoration attempted: a couple of pencil smudges and water drips are part of what make this remarkable. Architectural sketches with legible handwritten description, submitted 1980-1981.

Oppose ??? No wow. Lycaon 07:11, 7 February 2008 (UTC)- Oppose - simply not much exceptional about the image. Sorry. Patstuart (talk) 08:52, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
- Support For historical importance. --Thermos 17:39, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
- Oppose for lack of wow. Also, isn't this a copyright violation? -- Ram-Man 00:50, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
- Support Historical and encyclopædic importance may not be the primary criterion on Commons FPs, but I think we should support the people making these historical documents available in high-quality photographs. Otherwise we're not going to get more of them, and that's not good. Adam Cuerden 17:51, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
