- Strong Oppose Sorry, but these are badly-cropped lithographs, that don't include the borders. In the files, a few of them can be seen to have traces of borders - not much, though, and certainly not enough to reconstruct. These were meant to be book illustrations, inset on a page, likely with a caption below them. If they can no longer be used for that purpose without looking odd - and a rectangular crop of a lithograph will - I don't think they're suitable for promotion. It'd be a different thing if these were cropped versions that linked to an uncropped one, or if they were a postcard or other thing with a natural edge. It's a pity: if they hadn't be mangled, these would make excellent FPs. Adam Cuerden (talk) 23:18, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
