Comment - I'm not sure about this one. It's a small file for a featured picture nomination, and it's apparent even at thumbnail size that M. Hugo's right side (to the viewer's left) is blurry. If that's in the original photo and this file is faithful to that photo, we should probably approve featuring it, because of the author's importance and his compelling facial expression, but I think I'll leave that judgment up to others. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:12, 11 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

~~{o}~~ No improvements since the previous nomination. I guess this is the Bonhams version, a downsampled copy of the Carjat Gallica's version, which has a higher size. Good restoration though--Jebulon (talk) 17:40, 11 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Info Actually, I spent several hours restoring it since the previous nomination. Per your suggestion, I went through and eliminated literally thousands of white spots. Previous entry was this, current entry is this. Scewing (talk) 22:21, 11 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I also wanted to point out that, as you correctly guessed, this image is a restoration of the woodburytype sold by Bonham's auction house in 2011. The Bonham's woodburytype is not a downsampled copy of the woodburytype owned by BNF's Gallica, they are two separate woodburytypes of the same image. I chose to restore the Bonham's version, despite it's smaller scan size, because in my opinion the Bonham's woodburytype has deteriorated less in its 140 year history compared to the Gallica version. The detail of Victor Hugo's eyes and face were much cleaner in the Bonham's version in my opinion, so I decided to restore that one. BTW, I'm a big fan of all your images! Keep up the good work.
