Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Marguerite of Navarre

Original - Hinchliff's engraving of Marguerite of Navarre, from an 1864 English edition of her Heptaméron.

Reason: A major enlightenment literary and historical figure deserves a featured picture. This Victorian steel engraving is stunningly detailed - would you believe the original is no bigger than an index card? - and serves as an attractive introduction to her. Would you believe I found this book in the bargain bin at a charity shop for £2?

Creator: "Hinchliff". I can find no further information on him (probably not her, given the date)

Question: There are several unfortunate brown spots at the upper left of the engraving, like a spill from coffee or similar. Can anything be done about that? Maedin\^talk 18:13, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Well, I did poke at them a bit, but completely removing them would involve patching in pattern from elsewhere, which seemed less than ideal over larger areas. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 18:43, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
