- Reason
- A very nice self-portrait, which does a great job in showing both his photography and himself at the same time. Stumbled on it during the research for the Parepa-Rosa portrait below.

- Support – It would be nice to have a FP of his teacher Samuel Morse. Bammesk (talk) 23:34, 20 November 2022 (UTC) . . . . Not enthusiastic though after reading Morse's political views section. But would support for the EV. Bammesk (talk) 02:10, 23 November 2022 (UTC)
- Bunch of good options here. Do hit the issue of him looking wildly different at different periods. That said, if I find a good image (like this one), I find it better to restore it than to skip it for a potentially "more worthy" one. Especially given the image we had in Gurney before. I spend as much time on research as restoration. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.2% of all FPs. Currently celebrating his 600th FP! 05:57, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
- Ech. Well, he wouldn't be the first awful but historically important person I've restored. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.2% of all FPs. Currently celebrating his 600th FP! 03:58, 23 November 2022 (UTC)
