•  Info Felice Beato - uploaded by Brandmeister - nominated by Spongie555 -- Spongie555 (talk) 22:23, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
•  Support -- Spongie555 (talk) 22:23, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

•  Oppose (formerly FPX) Image does not fall within the guidelines, Commons FPC has a general minimum of 2MB filesize requirement. - IdLoveOne (talk) 22:34, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
•  Support due to historical value. And the guideline limit is for megapixels. Wolf (talk) 23:03, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

•  Comment a black & white photo has one channel comparing to the color photo that has 3 channels (RGB). This means the same color photo can be 3 times less in size when it is converted in black & white. Ggia (talk) 08:28, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

•  Support Not the best technically, and I know it's below size requirements, but I think the high historical value outdoes that. --The High Fin Sperm Whale 00:00, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
•  Support Highly valuable historical image. Steven Walling 01:01, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
•  Question: The sword looks a bit strange (very wide) at the point end. Is this due to motion during the exposure time? bamse (talk) 10:12, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

• Yes, it is motion result --George Chernilevsky ^talk 12:33, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

•  Support Informative and valuable.--MrPanyGoff (talk) 21:54, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
•  Oppose there is no reason why a historical image should be below the size limit. Try to find a larger reproduction. E.g. the original from Brittanica is 1275×1600. Lycaon (talk) 08:56, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
•  Support I uploaded the original image, which solved the size issue. Yann (talk) 15:26, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
