Comment I can't definitively decide whether or not to support this, but at least on my end the entire image looks quite blurry. Much of the text can't be read and a lot of the details are also compromised due to this. If the text at least was more legible, I would be more inclined to support this. -- mcshadypl ^T ^C 05:50, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've taken the liberty of sharpening the original with a deconvolution algorithm (edit 1), which has brough out a bit more of the detail (though I'm not sure the writing is any more legible). Unfortunately it's also brough out the JPEG artifacts from the original, but it was saved with quite high quality so that's not a huge problem. Time3000 (talk) 16:04, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Reluctant Oppose I really want to support this, but the unreadable text just takes too much away from the image. Makeemlighter (talk) 05:40, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Week Support Edit 1 Per above, most of the the text is readable though, the top left bit is unreadble, so weak support. Otherwise a beautiful and historical photo (and hi-res). Epson291 (talk) 17:28, 31 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
