Passchendaele barrage map edit

Original - Map showing the plan of an artillery barrage at the First Battle of Passchendaele

Am not particularly familiar with the Featured/Valued Picture process, but this image is of particular interest because it's an unusual historic illustration of an important, and often misunderstood, military tactic. It also has a wealth of other detail, e.g. thorough depiction of trench lines, that's fascinating in its encyclopedic context. Hence the nomination. Suspect it's probably aiming at VPC rather than FPC.

This definitely needs some information about the restoration work done to it. The file pages for any number of restored images can show you what I'm talking about. Check out, for example, File:Yellowstone_1871b.jpg which was restored by Durova, who has been incredibly prolific at restoring historic works. You'll notice she lists the work done to the image, namely "Spots removed, border irregularities corrected, histogram adjusted, and color balanced." I'll comment upon the actual image later, as I'm unable to view it at full-size right now. Makeemlighter (talk) 05:17, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
