Support -- The detail in this panorama is amazing and intensely ambitious for 1873!! Rotational (talk) 08:50, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support This is what I like about this engraving, as well as the ones uploaded by Adam Cuerden and Durova´s uploads: They provide, through art, a window into the past. In this case, one can observe how this was a period of technological transition, sail ships, hybrid sail-steamships and full fledged steamships. The representation of the foreground is very detailed, but as it dissipates into the background, it is interesting how the main streets were drawn so as to have a visual reference as to their place, and finally (in this very short observation), the prominence given to the churches in the background, a charachetristic of the American psyche (the puritan/religious background). Who knows how much more information one could derive from this and other engravings, and from other places. Anyhow, this is the type of value that this images bring to this effort. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 14:37, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Quality of image. Compare the amount of information in this 3.8MB version with the 50+MB of information in the restoration of Brooklyn below. --JalalV (talk) 14:02, 15 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
