Important person in the history of medicine, surprisingly good quality photo. I just replaced the previous lead image in
Louis Pasteur with this one because the image size is much larger and I think the composition is better. This image was already in the article but further down.
Support alt; although at thumbnail size the original is very similar, I prefer the alt as it also helps reusers. —

I hate to say this, but... the restored version really doesn't go far enough. The top of his hairline has a brown spot, which can't be part of the original photograph, and there's dust marks in the lower left area, as well as right and left of the head. I'd rather not promote a partial restoration, when a little more work would get us there, but it is better than the original, so I can't support that either. It's a JPEG, too, or I'd just edit Crisco's myself - but, sadly, I know that editing JPEGs repeatedly rapidly leads to unusable files. 'Reluctant oppose for the moment' Adam Cuerden(

Thanks for the input (yeah, I know... a JPG...). Am looking. —

BTW, before restoring I saved as a PSD, so I have a somewhat lossless version. —

Well,
Adam Cuerden, I take all the blame for this: my original upload had that dust removed, but when I reinserted the button hole it seems I was working off a partially restored version instead of the wholly restored version. Fixed. —

Still spots right at the hairline and just right of the ear. Adam Cuerden(

I think I got those, but I'm not seeing very much of anything near the hairline. —

Thank you. I am now delighted to Support alt, and hope that me reviewing my conditional slightly after the time won't be held against this image. Firefox was messing up. Adam Cuerden(

Don't think it should. Thanks for reviewing! —
