Comment There's already one FP of this, File:Saint Augustin Church Paris .jpg. Since the building still exists a photo may be better than drawing unless the facade wasn't radically changed. Brandmeister^talk 20:22, 27 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I know, I nominated also the other photo. The drawing is valuable because it is historic: it is the design of the building by the architect, not just some painting. Tomer T (talk) 07:08, 28 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Unfortunately this front elevation of the church doesn't give me a clear idea about the shape of the building as I get from Saffron's picture. It doesn't mean that this image is not valuable. It may be the old style of drawing at that time. Nowadays most architects prefer a third angle 3D view as in Saffron's photo. JKadavoor Jee 05:29, 30 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- This is very typical of the drawings I've seen at the time. As it's the original architecht's drawing, I'm inclined to Support, though I do wish the cutting off of the edges could be fixed. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 11:29, 4 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment It looks cut off at the sides. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 06:59, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't think it's cut. If we look at this (which seems like a later stage of the drawing, with more colors) it seems OK. Tomer T (talk) 13:46, 4 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - Yes; the courtyard of this church seems very small and ended with the iron grilled fence (clearly visible in the photos). So Support per Adam. J Kadavoor J e e 05:51, 5 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
