Oppose The restoration is good, and the image itself may be valuable, but there's no wow for me. It's just an advertisement? 99of9 (talk) 11:31, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
- As a Works Progress Administration poster it is technically a public service announcement. An editor had requested a historic featured picture that pertains to the Winter Olympics, to run for next year's games. This was the only available file that was public domain and high enough resolution to restore for featured candidacy. A blog post explains the technical challenges.

- Obviously just because we (someone) *want* a FP on a particular topic that doesn't argue for or against support of any particular image. Nor does it increase the wow. I don't doubt that there were technical challenges, or that you've done a good job. It's just that you're restoring a fairly unimpressive original. --99of9 (talk) 12:28, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
