•  Info Very very old photo created by Louis Daguerre - uploaded by MichaelMaggs - nominated by Paris 16 (talk)
•  Support -- Paris 16 (talk) 18:28, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose Was probably OK when he made it and has undoubtedly some historical value, but time has destroyed it for FP I'm afraid. Lycaon (talk) 18:54, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
•  Info This is Louis Daguerre's famous "Boulevard du Temple": the first photograph to successfully record a human being. 1830s technology required exposure times of over ten minutes; the shot captures a man at lower left who stood still. Durova (talk) 01:06, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
•  strong support –Juliancolton | ^Talk 01:42, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
•  Support Obvious support. This is a great image for its time. Ottava Rima (talk) 01:44, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose Valuable, but lacks in almost every other area. /Daniel78 (talk) 07:06, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
•  Neutral For 1838 featured, but imo not featured --kaʁstn 12:23, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
•  Support for its extraordinary value. Downtowngal (talk) 16:15, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
•  Strong support A famous photo, the quality is good.--Claus (talk) 18:31, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose Per other opposers. —kallerna™ 19:04, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose I'm a bit wary to oppose here as I don' want to be shouted at as too often happens with the oppose for certain images these days. But this image is too far gone to become FP. I agree wholeheartedly with /Daniel78. Estrilda --Estrilda (talk) 20:14, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose Per other opposers. Maybe it should go to valued image.--Tired time (talk) 21:20, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
•  Support Historical value, and it looks artistic to me. --Lošmi (talk) 21:53, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
•  Support Per Lošmi. MadGeographer (talk) 09:57, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
•  Support Had to think this over a couple of days. Occasionally the historical importance of a photograph makes it unsuitable for restoration. This is one of those times. Yes, it's rough. Yes, it's decayed. Yet envision this as cutting edge technology for 1838-1839, and it's stunning. One of the landmarks of photographic history. Durova (talk) 01:09, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
•  Support per Durova. Yann (talk) 21:35, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
•  Support per Durova. Another classic where the notion of FP just do not cut it. GerardM (talk) 06:13, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
•  Support Outstanding exhibit of both early photography and the before-Haussmann Paris. --Mylius (talk) 12:29, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
•  Support--Mbz1 (talk) 14:52, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
