Comment A stunning photochrom of a very famous German landmark. Not only a clear and beautiful example of a photochrom image from the turn of the century, but also a valuable record of how this castle looked shortly after completion. In addition, this is currently the only image on Commons that gives a head-on view of the castle. Also nominated on en wikipedia.-Sarfa05:52, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support Historically interesting and surprisingly good technical quality considering the original is more than 100 years old. Technically it does not fulfill many of the technical guidelines, but IMO the historical value is a sufficiently strong mitigating reason. -- Slaunger21:10, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Though convinced of the historical relevance, I find the quality severely lacking for an FP (the best commons can offer???). Lycaon12:37, 6 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment This is one of the about 14,000 (!) Photochroms published between 1887 and 1914. Photochrom images are state of the art achievements both in photography and lithographic printing. Actually most of them are FP worthy. So why choose that one in particular? About the copyright question: Photochroms were published in Europe by Photoglob in Zürich and in the U.S. by the Detroit Photographic Company (with a license from Photoglob). The pictures are more than 100 years old, and the names of the photographers are not known - except for most of the views of the U.S. which were made by William Henry Jackson. So, the European pictures can be considered as belonging to the public domain. On the other hand, the Photoglob company still exists as a part of the Swiss publishing company Orell Füssli Holding AG: perhaps they have some rights yet? -- MJJR09:03, 7 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
