Original - A relationship diagram featuring the branches of the Federal government, as well as the states, as they existed in 1862.Edit 1 - Restored version with most of the dust removed & damage repaired and colour levels slightly adjusted.Not for voting - Restored version without printing errors.
Reason
A very informative, high quality diagram. Used well in three articles, thrown in a fourth.
I'm just kidding - support this is a very informative diagram; would be cool to see a rendition of it representing today's borders and data. Definitely worthy. upstateNYer03:54, 11 August 2011 (UTC)reply
Support Edit 1 Per above. Stare at it long enough and it reminds me of the circulatory system, with power flowing in the arteries and allegiance back in the veins.

Query Thanks a ton for the restoration. Do you think it would be a good idea to fix the printing errors in the lines to the left and right of the House of Representatives, where it looks like too much ink was applied? I can think of arguments for and against such a change.

No problem. I can understand about the lines but when I was cleaning it up, it was fairly obvious to me what was dust etc compared to printing errors, although those lines don't look great I think I agree with JJ on this. But it does look a bit out of place, considering everything else is mostly all-right. Fallschirmjäger✉09:56, 14 August 2011 (UTC)reply
I have a question here, if it is possible that the improved version (eventually) can be uploaded as a new version of the first file. It seems to me
User:Fallschirmjäger took the file I downloaded, which was a TIFF of 219.4mb, which he retouched some more. This gives me some credits for discovering this diagram (which I believed to be one of the first organizational charts of mankind ever drawn), solves the problem of multiple copies of practically the same images, and gives the file back it's more simple name. --

I can upload over the same filename as your upload if you wish, I just didn't want to overwrite the untouched original file as is the normal way of doing things. But then we would have two identical files, to be fair the name of the file isn't really a problem, plus it does link to your original upload. Any thoughts on this anyone?

Yes I would like you to upload over the first file. I have no problem that you overwrite that file. Also this leaves the history of this image on Wikipedia (which started in 2008) simple. And this avoids problems in the futher that there are multiple copies. You made some good improvements to that file, for which I am very grateful. And I am very grateful for this nomination. --

A restored image shouldn't overwrite an unrestored one. This is because you should link between the two on the image page, which lets the viewer see what modifications have occurred easily.
