OriginalStade Français playing Racing Club de France from a 1906 calendar
Reason
A fine example of early-20th-century sporting artwork. Didn't make quorum last time, which is probably because FPC was having numbers issues back then.

  • Support. Addressing comments from previously: "If you want to illustrate the rugby team, a photograph would be more relevant." - disagree. A photograph of the current team will complement this image, not replace it due to the passage of time. This isn't about just the jerseys - the composition of the team and the grounds and crowds are also different. "It is also in a player's page, but the image doesn't specify which player is him." - agreed, but not substantive. Should be addressed, though. MER-C 05:59, 27 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • I missed that nomination when I was reviewing before this one. Yeah, that one went in weird directions. Adam Cuerden (talk) 04:55, 28 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per MER-C: this is an interesting and well executed work, with good EV as a time capsule. Nick-D (talk) 21:47, 30 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
