• Comment = IMO the caption at the bottom should be cropped out, leaving just the picture, because we already have a caption. But that could just be me. Also, the background is a bit grainy. Do you know if that's digital or if that was how the scenery was painted? Intothewoods29 ( talk) 22:55, 20 August 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Definitely not a digital problem. The Library of Congress did an excellent scan at high resolution. This was a photomechanical postcard print about 120 years old, possibly from an albumen original. Certain limitations come along with those technologies.

• Support...even though the negative space is on the wrong side. I don't think the caption needs to be cropped, but it we do crop the caption, we should crop the right side as well.-- ragesoss ( talk) 01:50, 21 August 2008 (UTC) reply
