•  Support Very clear, good quality image of particular historical importance. Orderinchaos78 08:06, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose Sorry, but if not about the age, the composition is not good. --Beyond silence 13:53, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
  • I am just curious...what is wrong with the composition? --AngMoKio 16:53, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
    • I'll venture a guess it's the profile. That was a fashionable pose at the time and it's gone out of favor. Durova 00:25, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
      • Uhmm yes. Profile is one thing but his gesture looks quite dismissive 2 me :-) . --Richard Bartz 18:33, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

•  Oppose Quite severe salt & pepper noise (those white and black dots), especially on the face. Need some restoration work. --Lerdsuwa 15:47, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

•  Oppose If i compare it to some Abraham Linclon pictures or Gen. Ulysses S. Grant or with pictures of his brother John Sherman this is not the best of that age - This is a boring portrait, sorry --Richard Bartz 20:02, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
