Scope	Nominated as the most valued image on Commons within the scope: Sainte-Pélagie prison, exterior
Used in	Global usage fr:Prison Sainte-Pélagie, fr:Gustave Courbet, fr:Henri Rochefort etc...
Reason	Unknown in "Commons" until today (we only had a small thumbnail of one of the inner courtyards). Nomination of a now disappeared building. This jail was a prison for political prisoners during all the 19th-century, please read the list in the in the french wp article, really impressive. Picture of 1898, the prison was destroyed in 1899. Restored by me. Best in scope IMO. Home work, no geocode is needed, but geocoded nevertheless. -- Jebulon (talk)
Review (criteria)	Support : useful and... Atget's picture ! --JLPC (talk) 11:03, 16 March 2013 (UTC) Indeed. Do you like him especially ?--Jebulon (talk) 22:20, 16 March 2013 (UTC) I've been a fan for years and I've got a lot of books about his work. I intend to go on a pilgrimage to Libourne (43,5 miles from here) and make a picture of his birthplace... when I buy a better lens ! (He deserves it). --JLPC (talk) 17:15, 17 March 2013 (UTC) ›the prison was destroyed in 1899.
