Original – The Trial of Gaetano Bresci, taking place in the Corte d'Assise in Milan. Bresci, the defendant, is held behind bars, while he is defended by his lawyer Francesco Saverio Merlino (standing, right).

Reason: This is a historically significant image of a high technical standard, with a high resolution (2,784 × 1,713 pixels). It is already recognised as a Featured Picture on Wikicommons. It is one of the few illustrative depictions of Bresci's trial, and adds significant encyclopedic value to the respective section of Bresci's article. It is in the public domain and all the details of authorship, creation and publications are known and detailed in the file description. Minor image manipulation was carried out to cover up a page break in the middle of the image.

If you have access to the original still, given this is a two-page spread, I'd prefer it at higher resolution and including borders and original captions. Tentative Support if not, though. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.8% of all FPs.} 21:53, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support – per Adam, but there is room for improvement in the restoration where the two pages meet. Bammesk (talk) 03:47, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Would have to oppose unless quality improved at the join. Charlesjsharp (talk) 15:16, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Charlesjsharp; @Bammesk: I have requested further restoration work from the Commons graphic lab. --Grnrchst (talk) 09:49, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
PawełMM has now done some extra work to improve the join. Thoughts? --Grnrchst (talk) 11:20, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good, thanks for improving it. Bammesk (talk) 04:39, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - The amount of reworking that's been done to hide to join makes me uneasy. It's blurry in some places and there are others (such as the pattern on the stairs) where the current revision contradicts the original. At the same time, there's a lot of attention to detail that makes me think that truly hiding the crease isn't possible. Given the choice, I would favor a B&W version of the original, preserving the join as an innate aspect of the physical, analog source. Moonreach (talk) 15:49, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Don't think the join is original to the image, though.It's a repair. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.8% of all FPs.} 13:13, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
