Support — Coffee // have a cup // 06:18, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
Neutral -- I'm not sure what would be the outstanding features of this picture, but it is certainly a most unusual setting for an advertisement for alcohol. MartinD (talk) 10:23, 17 January 2010 (UTC)- Support Technically excellent. And for the very reason that made MartinD vote neutrally. --Cayambe (talk) 21:29, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
- Support per Cayambe and for historical value --George Chernilevsky talk 08:09, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
- Support High visual impact, historical value, and good quality. --99of9 (talk) 09:21, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
Comment The quality is amazing, estetically, its nice, but I just cant support the stereotype with nude women selling things and the black man working for the white. --Korall (talk) 00:06, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
- Ah, but that "stereotype" makes this image even more historical, and shows something that could not possibly be sold in the US like that today. — Coffee // have a cup // 01:55, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
- Support, historically significant work. Excellent quality. –blurpeace (talk) 02:00, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
- Support: good quality and historically interesting. Jonathunder (talk) 07:01, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
- Support After studying the pixels in great detail while downloading the full image, I felt like having a drink already. I smile at this nomination and can appreciate the somewhat sleazy topic. Excellent colors and detail level. --Slaunger (talk) 19:46, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
- Support As a technically meritorious--and dare I say quaint?--example of nineteenth century prejudice and ignorance. It says something about a time and place that a reasonably successful product could be sold this way. Durova (talk) 16:17, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
