Original – John Tarleton, during his command of the HMS Euryalus

Reason: While a bit small, and while I did add a little extra blank space on the right because the original uses the paper it's printed on to centre the image, and we cannae do that in a crop, it's a good image of an otherwise unillustrated person. Overpainted salt paper print, which seems to have had a lot of enhancement done by the oriignal artist.

Comment – Target article with 167 words is more or less a stub. Nominated pic. is absent from HMS Euryalus, although Tarleton is mentioned high in the 400-word text. – Sca (talk) 13:10, 26 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I think there's enough for a main page appearance. And it lacked an image before. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.5% of all FPs.} 23:18, 26 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
What is overpainting? — Chris Woodrich (talk) 13:33, 26 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
In this case, enhancing the details and adding the big oval in. [1] Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.5% of all FPs.} 17:51, 26 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Interesting. I ask as overpainting doesn't mention anything done with photography, and the image here is certainly quite different than anything I've seen for a while. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 11:30, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support - High technical quality, though I would feel better having documentation of the overpainting if it's available. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 11:30, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That's all that's documented, I fear. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.5% of all FPs.} 19:34, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
