Review (criteria)	Best in Scope --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 10:03, 11 August 2016 (UTC)[reply] Comment@Martinvl: You wrote: This is one of the finest nineteenth century photographic portraits that I have seen. You say that in general, or for this man ? It is a very dirty portrait, due to its age, and it deserves a very strong restoration IMO. There are here in"Commons" far much better, cleaner (and older) 19th c. photographic portraits IMO...--Jebulon (talk) 15:40, 13 August 2016 (UTC)[reply] Info@Jebulon: I was looking for images of various notable South Africans from that era when I came across this image. Ideally I would have liked to post an image of a similar quality of , Rhodes' adversary, but I could not find any suitable images.
