•  Comment, not valuable as a PHOTO? This is not Featured photo candidates for christ's sake, it doesn't have to be "valuable as a photo". --Aqwis 15:37, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
  •  Comment Please tell me the reason for featuring a good done scan? Brief work? Creativity? --Herrick 15:42, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
    • Spending hours in libraries tracking down images on a subject? Adam Cuerden 15:52, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
    • We aren't featuring the scan, we are featuring the drawing. This is nothing different from featuring a photography by a non-Commons user. Remember, FPC is a showcase of the best images on Commons, not a reward for long and hard work by our users. --Aqwis 16:48, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
      • Actually we are featuring the image upoaded to Commons that you see on screen. The end result is a combination of an excellent and interesting engraving and some excellent research and scanning/restoration work carried out by Adam Cuerden. If either the engraving or the restoration work were less than excellent we would not feature this, but the fact is that both are.--MichaelMaggs 18:19, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
•  Oppose Lacks wow. Seen one, seen all (IMO). Lycaon 13:11, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
•  Support- i dont want to be disrespectfull but the ignorance some people show when qualifying this images is rather amazing and sad. Engraving was for many years the only way one had to relate images in printing media, and is as valuable as painting or drawing, or map tracing or sculpture or, or, or. If "this is only a scan" was reason enough to not feature it, i think we should delist 80% of the featured images we have. Please,never reject a image only becouse you dont know about a subject -LadyofHats 03:15, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
