This star, with one point broken, symbolizes the featured candidates on Wikipedia.

Featured pictures are images that add significantly to articles, either by illustrating article content particularly well, or being eye-catching to the point where users will want to read its accompanying article. Taking the adage that "a picture is worth a thousand words", the images featured on Wikipedia:Featured pictures should illustrate a Wikipedia article in such a way as to add significantly to that article, according to the featured picture criteria.

Promoting an image

If you believe an image should be featured, create a subpage (use the "For Nominations" field, below) and add the subpage to the current nominations section.

For promotion, if an image is listed here for ten days with five or more reviewers in support and the consensus is in its favor, it can be added to the Wikipedia:Featured pictures list. Consensus is generally regarded to be a two-thirds majority in support, including the nominator and/or creator of the image; however, anonymous votes are generally disregarded, as are opinions of sockpuppets.

All users may comment. However, only those who have been on Wikipedia for 25 days and with at least 100 edits will be included in the numerical count. If necessary, decisions about close candidacies will be made on a case-by-case basis. Nominations started in December are given three extra days, due to the holidays slowing down activity here.

The archive contains all opinions and comments collected for candidate nominations and their nomination results.

If you nominate an image here, please consider also uploading and nominating it at Commons to help ensure that the pictures can be used not just in the English Wikipedia but on all other Wikimedia projects as well.

Delisting an image

A featured picture can be nominated for delisting if you feel it no longer lives up to featured picture standards. You may also request a featured picture be replaced with a superior image. Create a subpage (use the "For Delists" field, below) and add the subpage to the current nominations section.

Please leave a note on the talk page of the original FPC nominator (and creator/uploader, if appropriate) to let them know the delisting is being debated. The user may be able to address the issues and avoid the delisting of the picture.

For delisting, if an image is listed here for ten days with five or more reviewers supporting a delist or replace, and the consensus is in its favor, it will be delisted from Wikipedia:Featured pictures. Consensus is generally regarded to be a two-thirds majority in support, including the nominator. Note that anonymous votes are generally disregarded, as are opinions of sockpuppets. However, images are sometimes delisted despite having fewer than five in support of their removal, and there is currently no consensus on how best to handle delist closures, except that:If the image to be delisted is not used in any articles by the time of closure, it must be delisted. If it is added to articles during the nomination, at least one week's stability is required for the nomination to be closed as "Kept". The nomination may be suspended if a week hasn't yet passed to give the rescue a chance.

Outside of the nominator, all voters are expected to have been on Wikipedia for 25 days and to have made a minimum of 100 edits. If necessary, decisions about close candidacies will be made on a case-by-case basis. As with regular nominations, delist nominations are given three extra days to run if started in December.

Note that delisting an image does not mean deleting it. Delisting from Featured pictures in no way affects the image's status in its article(s).

How to comment for Candidate Images

Write Support, if you approve of the picture. A reason is optional.
Write Oppose, followed by your reasoning, if you disapprove of the picture. All objections should be accompanied by a specific rationale that, if addressed, would make you support the image. If your concern is one that can only be addressed by the creator, and if they haven't nominated or commented on the image, and if they are a Wikipedian, you should notify them directly.
You can weak support or weak oppose instead, so that your opinion will be weighed as half of a "full" opinion.
- To change your opinion, strike it out (with <s>...</s>) rather than removing it.
If you think a nominated image obviously fails the featured picture criteria, write Speedy close followed by your reasons. Nominations may be closed early if this is the case.

Recommendations added early in the process may be disregarded if they do not address concerns and/or improvements that arise later in the debate. Reviewers are advised to monitor the progress of a nomination and update their votes accordingly.

Prior to giving an opinion, the image should be assessed on its quality as displayed at full size (high-resolution) in an image editing program. Please note that the images are only displayed at thumbnail size on this page. The thumbnail links to the image description page which, in turn, links to the high-resolution version.

How to comment for Delist Images

Write Keep, followed by your reasons for keeping the picture.
Write Delist, followed by your reasons for delisting the picture.
Write Delist and Replace if you believe the image should be replaced by a better picture.
You can weak keep, weak delist or weak delist and replace instead, so that your opinion will be weighed as half of a "full" opinion.
- To change your opinion, strike it out (with <s>...</s>) rather than removing it.

Please remember to be civil, not to bite the newbies and to comment on the image, not the person.

You may find the glossary useful when you encounter acronyms or jargon in other voters' comments. You can also link to it by using {{FPCgloss}}.

Editing candidates

If you feel you could improve a candidate by image editing, please feel free to do so, but do not overwrite or remove the original. Instead, upload your edit with a different file name (e.g., add "edit" to the file name), and display it below the original nomination. Edits should be appropriately captioned in sequential order (e.g., Edit 1, Edit 2, etc), and describe the modifications that have been applied.

Is my monitor adjusted correctly?

In a discussion about the brightness of an image, it is necessary to know if the computer display is properly adjusted. Displays differ greatly in their ability to show shadow detail. There are four dark grey circles in the adjacent image. If you can discern three (or even four) of the circles, your monitor can display shadow detail correctly. If you see fewer than three circles, you may need to adjust the monitor and/or computer display settings. Some displays cannot be adjusted for ideal shadow detail. Please take this into account when voting.

Displays also differ greatly in their ability to show highlight detail. There are light grey circles in the adjacent image. If you can discern three (or even four) of the circles, your monitor can display highlight detail correctly. If you see fewer than three circles, you may need to adjust the monitor and/or computer display settings (probably reduce the contrast setting). Some displays cannot be adjusted for ideal highlight detail. Please take this into account when voting.

On a gamma-adjusted display, the four circles in the color image blend into the background when seen from a few feet (roughly 75–150 cm) away. If they do not, you could adjust the gamma setting (found in the computer's settings, not on the display), until they do. This may be very difficult to attain, and a slight error is not detrimental. Uncorrected PC displays usually show the circles darker than the background. Note that the image must be viewed in original size (263 × 68 pixels) - if enlarged or reduced, results are not accurate.

Note that on most consumer LCD displays (laptop or flat screen), viewing angle strongly affects these images. Correct adjustment on one part of the screen might be incorrect on another part for a stationary head position. Click on the images for more technical information. If possible, calibration with a hardware monitor calibrator is recommended.

Double-bladed solar diffraction spike in Hyde Park Chicago urban canyon

Voting period ends on 8 Nov 2024 at 18:16:15 (UTC)

Reason: Shooting the brightest light source is a challenge. Capturing a solar diffraction spike in the context of an urban canyon at the golden hour was a particular challenge for me. In order to execute this image, I undertook my first attempt at bracketing and compositing. On the day I shot, I executed about a half dozen different 7-picture autobracketing sequences with full-stop increments from -3 to +3 in under 10 minutes on this camera while the sun was visible in this urban canyon. I prefer this one because the sunburst/diffraction spike has an appealling shape (especially in article space thumbs). Furthermore, in this sequence the rare double-bladed spikes are uniform throughout the scene. I composited it using free Canon software that is limited to 3 source files. Since I metered to the main subject, I ended up relying on the overexposed sequence elements to composite. The best result here uses the +1- and +3-stop sequence elements. It is slightly better than +1/+2/+3 and +2/+3 versions that are also on commons. I apologize that I cropped out so many pixels, but at the time I only had one good tripod for a three camera setup and this camera was hanging off of another camera at a 15+ degree tilt. For a first attempt at bracketing/compositing with free software, this is a pretty solid result. I think this diffraction spike really pops in thumbnail size that you see in article space.

Looks like you've put a lot of effort into planning of the shoot. It can get stressful when you're time constrained like in this case. The problem is that the photo is not a great illustration of an urban canyon. The buildings on the left are only 3 storey high. See Manhattanhenge for comparison. It also doesn't quite work as an illustration of the golden hour. All the buildings are backlit and therefore in the shadow so you're not showing what the red light does to the landscape.ro|3ek (talk) 22:55, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- User:Robek, this was actually a practice session two days before Chicagohenge, which turned out to have bad weather this year. You have educated me on the golden hour. Your point about the buildings being backlit is certainly true, but the red light is quite visible on the street surface. On the left between the Hotel Del Prado in the foreground and the Hyde Park–Kenwood National Bank Building off in the distance are 3 story buildings. However, if you read the urban canyon article this is defined as an Avenue canyon in the 3 story stretches and a regular or deep canyon in other stretches. On the 2nd of the two actual days of Chicagohenge 3 days later, I went downtown to photograph deep canyons. I was amid deeper canyons, but I the diffraction spikes were less presentable. The diffraction spike is actually the focus of the image. I have reordered the article usage in this regard moving diff spike to first.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 03:56, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- P.S. the point of Xhenge photography is to show the beauty of the sunset or sunrise in the context of architecture. None of the sun photos in Manhattanhenge article show a particularly artistic sun. Most of them are just glowing masses. This nomination presents a splendid diffraction spike. Except for maybe one red presentation, I don't think Manhattanhenge has good sun presentations. The article does present the crowd gatherings in all their glory. However, I had better red rings with my longest lens on another camera, because I had concentric red rings around the sun rather than that. I do aspire to get more picturesque results in deeper canyons in future years.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:21, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

George Floyd protests

Voting period ends on 8 Nov 2024 at 13:17:30 (UTC)

Reason: A really good image of the events, it shows the chaos and has relatively high EV. Framing is also good. It definitely catches my eye whenever I read the article. May need slight perspective correction, but I believe the image is supposed to line up with the man, and not the other objects, which makes sense.

The Circus

Voting period ends on 8 Nov 2024 at 12:48:47 (UTC)

Original – The Circus is a 1928 silent romantic comedy film written, produced, and directed by Charlie Chaplin. The film stars Chaplin, Al Ernest Garcia, Merna Kennedy, Harry Crocker, George Davis and Henry Bergman. The ringmaster of an impoverished circus hires Chaplin's Little Tramp as a clown, but discovers that he can only be funny unintentionally.

Reason: my first Featured picture nomination since, you know, that thing, however the reason I'm nominate this movie, it's becaused it is one of the most well know Charlie Chaplin movies and also, is the one of two chaplin movies to win an oscar

Caricature of Wang Lianying

Voting period ends on 5 Nov 2024 at 15:22:17 (UTC)

Reason: High quality scan of a piece of newspaper art. The murder of Wang Lianying, a famed courtesan, captured imaginations in Shanghai, and the case was even reported in the international press. This image, which accompanied coverage of the trial in the New York Tribune, illustrates that international coverage; it also provides an early example of artwork by Jefferson Machamer, who developed a reputation for depicting glamourous women.

The headroom is aesthically pleasing to me. This FPC which is likely to get promoted has much more empty space. Tagooty (talk) 03:02, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
True, but the Eurasian chaffinch photo is almost square shaped, so the empty space at the top is less noticeable. That bird's tail is also higher up compared with the Blue-throated barbet. This bird on the other hand and the branch it's on appear oddly low in the image, an issue that becomes evident if you view the image on fullscreen (compounded by the fact that the image is vertical). The tail to head distance and the position of the bird just seem a bit off. Reducing the top by about 1/4 or 1/3 could solve this issue in my opinion. Regards, Nythar (💬-🍀) 04:16, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Done Fair enough. I've cropped it for more uniform space on all sides. Uploaded with a "crop" filename as the original is QI and FP on Commons. --Tagooty (talk) 09:14, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think it could go slightly further. Using Photoshop's rulers, I'm seeing that the head has 175px more space than the tail. The left-right margins are also unabalanced, but in that case there are branches and whatnot that allow the eye to follow. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 15:13, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Having the head a little closer to the middle of the image than the tail is justified for 2 reasons: From the aesthetic PoV, an unbalanced layout is more appealing than geometric balance. From the EV PoV, the most interesting part of the bird is the multi-coloured head, neck and bill (see Description). Tagooty (talk) 03:32, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Planet Stories cover, 1940

Voting period ends on 3 Nov 2024 at 20:57:30 (UTC)

Reason: No single cover can fully encapsulate pulp magazines, but this one has a lot of good stuff: A spaceman with a jetpack and a raygun carrying an improbably dressed woman, while in the background some kind of futuristic machine explodes. The scan quality is good, and captures the halftone printing dots, which are functionally the resolution limit of the source image. I did a light crop to remove a white line on the right side, but I don't want to get too crop-happy, since this is a time-worn physical object and has somewhat uneven edges because of it.

I worry about the licensing situation with the teapot. Our copy is tagged CC, but it's a recreation of someone else's 3D model, which is in turn a recreation of a commercial article. It's possible the pathway is still clear - I don't know what the college's license is, and I believe in the US functional items can't have their designs copyrighted, but that's still more hoops than I want to jump through.

Comment – If we're going to start allowing 3D models into FP, then we may aswell rename it from Featured Pictures to Featured Media ―Howard • 🌽³³ 08:46, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
See my comment above - I wonder if there is enough interest (and enough such material) that a separate project might be worthwhile. I would estimate that all sounds, videos and 3D objects in Commons are still lesser in number than all the pictures, but they still represent a substantial amount of the media Wikimedia has to offer.

Hurricane Milton

Voting period ends on 30 Oct 2024 at 23:34:49 (UTC)

Reason: Quality image of Hurricane Milton at its peak ~~intensity~~ category (Category 5) over the Gulf of Mexico in October 2024. We have very few hurricane FPs that show the curvature of Earth. This shows it and I think that's a plus. This was shot from the International Space Station. The control arm on top helps establish the viewing angle/location. The image is noisy, but I think the high pixel count more or less makes up for it.

Comment – Underwhelming, IMO. Meh. – Sca (talk) 12:33, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Weak support – The problem with taking pictures out the window of the ISS is the same as with taking them out the window of an airplane; there's always going to be at least a little schmutz and optical interference from the glass. That said, I think the hurricane itself looks pretty good. Moonreach (talk) 18:24, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral – It is a good shot, don't get me wrong, but the tropical cyclone had a clouded eye and was not at its peak intensity when this image was taken. I do not believe this is a good example of a tropical cyclone and would not want it as the lead image of Tropical cyclone. _ZZ^Z 'S 23:48, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Moonreach: The last version is nearly 23 Mpx, which pretty big for an old picture, and bigger than most FP. Yann (talk) 17:57, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's not about the file size. It's that, when I look at the largest version at 100% scaling, I can see individual pixels. I think this was upscaled at some point. Moonreach (talk) 18:02, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Moonreach: I see what you mean. I downscaled it a bit. @Crisco 1492: Still OK for you? Yann (talk) 11:20, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Yann I'm not sure you downscaled it enough. The pixels in the image appear to be somewhere between 2x2 and 3x3. I'd think you'd want to reduce it to at least 50% it's original size (something like 2048x2800). --Ahecht (TALK

There is an argument for uploading images from different sources as seperate files: If there's damage, it can help make repairing it easier, and it avoids the situation we have here, where there's two sources given, one of which is irrelevant to the one in question. I'd probably tease the variants out; I do think this is eminently featurable, but the nomination closes in two days, and it may be best to let this close and immediately renomnate, citing that it took a while to find the best version.

Nominations — to be closed

Nominations in this category are older than ten days and are to be closed. New votes will no longer be accepted.

Older nominations requiring additional input from users

These nominations have been moved here because consensus is impossible to determine without additional input from those who participated in the discussion. Usually this is because there was more than one edit of the image available, and no clear preference for one of them was determined. If you voted on these images previously, please update your vote to specify which edit(s) you are supporting.

Closing procedure

A script is available that automates the majority of these tasks: User:Armbrust/closeFPC.js

When NOT promoted, perform the following:

Place the following text at the bottom of the WP:FPC/subpage:
{{FPCresult|Not promoted| }} --~~~~
Do NOT put any other information inside the FPCresult template. It should be copied and pasted exactly.
If the nominator is new to FPC, consider placing {{subst:NotpromotedFPC|Image name}} on their talk page. To avoid overuse, do not use the template when in doubt.

When promoted, perform the following:

Place the following text at the bottom of the WP:FPC/subpage:
{{FPCresult|Promoted|File:FILENAME.JPG}} --~~~~
Replace FILENAME.JPG with the name of the file that was promoted. It should show up as:

Promoted File:FILENAME.JPG

Do NOT put any other information inside the FPCresult template. It should be copied and pasted exactly.
Add the image to:
- Template:Announcements/New featured content - newest on top, remove the oldest so that 15 are listed at all times.
- Wikipedia:Goings-on - newest on bottom.
- Wikipedia:Featured pictures thumbs - newest on top.
Add the image to the proper sub-page of Wikipedia:Featured pictures - newest on top.
The caption for a Wikipedian created image should read "Description at Article, by Creator". For a non-Wikipedian, it should be similar, but if the creator does not have an article, use an external link if appropriate. For images with substantial editing by one or more Wikipedians, but created by someone else, use "Description at Article, by Creator (edited by Editor)" (all editors involved should be clear from the nomination). Additionally, the description is optional - if it's essentially the same as the article title, then just use "Article, by Creator". Numerous examples can be found on the various Featured Pictures subpages.
Add the image to the appropriate section of Wikipedia:Featured pictures - newest on left and remove the oldest from the right so that there are always three in each section.
Add the Featured Picture tag and star to the image page using {{Featured picture|page_name}} (replace page_name with the nomination page name, i.e., the page_name from Wikipedia:Featured_picture_candidates/page_name). To add this template you most likely will have to click the "create" button on the upper right if the "edit" button is not present, generally if the image originates from Commons.
If an edited or alternative version of the originally nominated image is promoted, make sure that all articles contain the Featured Picture version, as opposed to the original.
Notify the nominator or co-nominators by placing {{subst:PromotedFPC|File:file_name.xxx}} on each nominator's talk page. For example: {{subst:PromotedFPC|File:Blue morpho butterfly.jpg}}.
If the image was created by a Wikipedian, place {{subst:UploadedFP|File:file_name.xxx}} on the creator's talk page. For example: {{subst:UploadedFP|File:Blue morpho butterfly.jpg}}.

Then perform the following, regardless of the outcome:

Move the nomination entry to the top of the "Recently closed nominations" section. It will remain there for three days after closing so others can review the nomination. This is done by simply moving the line {{Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Page name}} to the top of the section.
Add the nomination entry to the bottom of the October archive. This is done by simply adding the line {{Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Page name}} from this page to the bottom of the archive.
If the nomination is listed at Template:FPC urgents, remove it.

Delist closing procedure

Note that delisting an image does not equal deleting it. Delisting from Featured pictures in no way affects the image's status in its article/s.

If consensus is to KEEP featured picture status, and the image is used in at least one article, perform the following:

Check that the image has been in the article for at least one week. Otherwise, suspend the nomination to give it time to stabilize before continuing.
Place the following text at the bottom of the WP:FPC/delist/subpage:
{{FPCresult|Kept|}} --~~~~
Do NOT put any other information inside the FPCresult template. It should be copied and pasted exactly.
Optionally leave a note on the picture's talk page.

If consensus is to DELIST, or the image is unused (and consensus is not for a replacement that is used), perform the following:

Place the following text at the bottom of the WP:FPC/delist/subpage:
{{FPCresult|Delisted|}} --~~~~
Do NOT put any other information inside the FPCresult template. It should be copied and pasted exactly.
Replace the {{Featured picture}} tag from the image with {{FormerFeaturedPicture|delist/''Image name''}}.
Remove the image from the appropriate sub-page of Wikipedia:Featured pictures and the appropriate section of Wikipedia:Featured pictures thumbs.

If consensus is to REPLACE (and at least one of the images is used in articles), perform the following:

Place the following text at the bottom of the WP:FPC/delist/subpage:
{{FPCresult|Replaced|}} with File:NEW_IMAGE_FILENAME.JPG --~~~~
Do NOT put any other information inside the FPCresult template. It should be copied and pasted exactly.

Replace NEW_IMAGE_FILENAME.JPG with the name of the replacement file.
Replace the {{Featured picture}} tag from the delisted image with {{FormerFeaturedPicture|delist/''Image name''}}.
Update the replacement picture's tag, adding the tag {{Featured picture|delist/image_name}} (replace image_name with the nomination page name, i.e., the image_name from Wikipedia:Featured_picture_candidates/delist/image_name). Remove any no longer applicable tags from the original, replacement and from any other alternatives. If the alternatives were on Commons and no longer have any tags, be sure to tag the description page with {{missing image}}.
Replace the delisted Featured Picture in all articles with the new replacement Featured Picture version. Do NOT replace the original in non-article space, such as Talk Pages, FPC nominations, archives, etc.
Ensure that the replacement image is included on the appropriate sub-page of Wikipedia:Featured pictures and the appropriate section of Wikipedia:Featured pictures thumbs. Do this by replacing the original image with the new replacement image; do not add the replacement as a new Featured Picture.

Then perform the following, regardless of the outcome:

Move the nomination entry to the top of the "Recently closed nominations" section. It will remain there for three days after closing so others can review the nomination. This is done by simply moving the line {{Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/delist/Image name}} to the top of the section.
Add the nomination entry to the bottom of the archived delist nominations. This is done by simply adding the line {{Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/delist/Image name}} to the bottom of the appropriate section of the archive.
If the nomination is listed at Template:FPC urgents, remove it.

I am pretty sure all those small dots filling the background are noise, not stars. It's measurement or detection noise, somewhat similar to high ISO noise (but more intense). The image has scientific value even with all that noise, because lots of tiny stars are still discernible (perhaps for first time ever) within the noise, though not easily. However, for a galaxy photo in an encyclopedia, the excessive noise misleads, coming across as stars. It's just too noisy IMO. ~~-Oppose.~~ Bammesk (talk) 02:02, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Bammesk: From what I've gathered from HubbleSite and overall specifications for the Hubble, those objects are more likely than not individual astronomical bodies. The Sloan Digital Sky Survey did a similar look at the Milky Way's center, and it looks exactly the same when zoomed in. The link Chris posted actually sums it up really well. Sir MemeGod  12:26, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This confirms it. "Though the galaxy is over 2 million light-years away, The Hubble Space Telescope is powerful enough to resolve individual stars in a 61,000-light-year-long stretch of the galaxy’s pancake-shaped disk. It's like photographing a beach and resolving individual grains of sand. And there are lots of stars in this sweeping view -- over 100 million, with some of them in thousands of star clusters seen embedded in the disk." Sir MemeGod  13:13, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As per the ESA, there are more than one hundred million stars in the image. I don't know if they are counting all of the stars in the spiral galaxies and other multi-star features in the image (some are highlighted here), but based on available sources that doesn't appear to be noise. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 10:13, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

White Zombie movie poster

Reason: Excellent copy of a visually striking poster for a well-known horror film. Target article has GA status. There were attempts to promote this image twice before, but those were over a decade ago and had low community input. Criticisms at the time included slight flaws (which were then fixed in a restoration pass) and aesthetic opinions of the poster itself. I don't think either of those is a definitive "no", especially with so few votes, so I wanted to try again.

Comment – @Chris Woodrich, Yann – I didn't catch this before, but this version of the poster is cropped from a version with a wide white border, as can be seen in the prior version.

- Scrolling up and down with the verticals at the edge of my screen, I'm seeing that, if any, it is rather minimal.

Looking at commons:Commons:Overwriting existing files, as this qualifies as a historical image, it would probably be best to upload separately. The Crop Tool on Commons is fairly smart and can do that, and I believe it uploads with the least possible compression (thereby not degrading the image too much). — Chris Woodrich (talk) 12:49, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Crisco 1492 I undid your crop and redid it using the Crop Tool's lossless move. Using "precise" mode will recompress the image using the same compression level as the original image, which means it can cause significant further degradation. Lossless mode doesn't recompress the image at all, but the top and left have to be cropped by a multiple of 16 pixels (which isn't a problem in this case because 0 is a multiple of 16). --Ahecht (TALK

Bile Beans bag

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 26 Oct 2024 at 15:22:31 (UTC)

Reason: Interesting bit of ephemera; it is promotional, but for a product long extinct. It illustrates a few unrelated and now somewhat rare things: Two-color printing, patent medicines and paper bag packaging. (I don't believe this bag originally came with Bile Beans in it, since a Google search found similar bags that just have more advertising on the other side rather than product info like weight.) I feel that I should acknowledge this is literally a piece of trash, but it's a very nice piece of trash.

Comment - I'm seeing a light patch on the left side of the image that is likely not in the original print. I agree that the technical quality is lacking; Christie's gives high resolution scans, but they save them at a high compression ratio, resulting in JPG artefacting (for example, I think File:Huang Shaoqiang - Farewell.jpg is an excellent example of the artist's work, but there are a few compression issues. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 12:05, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I think the description needs to note this is scanned from a Cole Weston print - in art photography my understanding is that the making of the print is part of the process (especially when it involves manual dodging and burning, as in this case), and Edward Weston also made prints of this negative before authorising his son Cole to make further prints. I'm also a little confused about the sourcing - the image page gives three URLs, which as far as I can see are for different prints of the image (thought all by Cole Weston), and isn't clear which one is actually the image uploaded.
