  •  Info created by Matthew Brady - uploaded by U.S. National Archives - restored and nominated by me -- Jebulon (talk) 17:14, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Restored portrait Pierre-Gustave Toutant de Beauregard (1818 - 1893), first Brigadier-General of the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War (1861 - 1865). He commanded the defenses of Charleston, South Carolina, at the start of the Civil War at Fort Sumter on April 12, 1861. Of course one of the interest of this extraordinary image is the restoration work, which was very difficult. The result seems interesting. Please have a look to the original for comparison. -- Jebulon (talk) 17:14, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Could you reduce a bit the vigneting? --The Photographer (talk) 17:52, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, this is not vigneting.--Jebulon (talk) 18:49, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Inner shadow effect. For example, in the original, top and right shadow are not presents --The Photographer (talk) 19:25, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Its pinhole camera, restorator kept the effect. I think its OK. --Mile (talk) 19:13, 19 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I hate to say it, but 'm pretty sure they had lenses by Mathew Brady's day. I like the image, and am very impressed by the restoration, but would like to have a vignetting-free version, for consistency with other such portraits. Adam Cuerden (talk) 22:22, 19 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Most of other such portraits from that period and by Brady do have this vignetting effect, but I'll try to create a new version (but this candidacy will remain as it is, no alternative ! )--Jebulon (talk) 08:42, 20 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Good plan: It's a great image, it's just it might be better on pages where it's net to something with significantly less vignetting. (also, the extra vignetting makes the bottom of the sleeve lose a little detail. It's a good artistic choice, but a variant won't hurt. =) Adam Cuerden (talk) 23:48, 20 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
You will be satisfied Asap, My Master !--Jebulon (talk) 17:49, 21 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
