Wikipedia:Picture peer review/Admiral Farragut

 
Admiral David Farragut of the American Civil War.
 
Original file from colloidon glass negative, 1855-1865.

Admiral Farragut was the top Union Naval offier of the American Civil War. This was the man who said, Damn the torpedoes! Full speed ahead. The eyes fascinate me - calm and fierce at the same time. Appears in David Farragut. Unknown photographer; restoration by Durova.

  • Nice find. Historical and definitely meets the size requirements. Hopefully, if you end up nominating this, the complaints of blurry hair,etc. won't be made without realizing that photography was still in its infancy back then.—DMCer 04:47, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
