  • It's a graphic representation of Napoleon's disastrous invasion of Russia. He entered the country with nearly half a million men and left it with a mere ten thousand. This campaign was the turning point of Napoleon's career and had profound impact on the history of Europe. The graphic incorporates geographic landmarks, dates, temperature, and troop detachments as well as the dwindling ranks. It's so highly regarded that 140 years after publication it's still used in textbooks. Durova 20:08, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
•  Support --A classic and a must in visual information communication (and this, almost one and half century ago). The reproduction is excellent but the filename is quiet weak. Sting 20:00, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

•  Question Why not SVG ? --libertad0 ॐ 13:36, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
  • I briefly considered this possibility, but would it really be that beneficial? Could you justify the effort? Jeff Dahl 18:48, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
  • This is a 19th century illustration, doesn't make any sense to convert it to svg! -- Alvesgaspar 19:20, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Converting would alter it too much for a historical illustration. I suppose it could be vectorized to look exactly the same, but that's a lot of work for very little added value. Rocket000 11:51, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
•  Support -- It is a famous and important illustration, and the reproduction is very good -- Alvesgaspar 19:20, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
