Comment - The image was nominated a few minutes after being put in a very actively watched Andrew Jackson article. This is a bit shy of the suggested 7 days...--

Oppose – I don't think it serves our readers to run as a Main Page graphic a typographical image that can't be read except at full res.

Nos. 3 and 5. My point is, the content isn't readily accessible to readers. Also, this specific handbill isn't mentioned in the target article's
campaign section, though there is a general reference to
coffin handbills. –

Oppose - While it is an interesting historical item, the broadside itself does not really add much EV to either article (compared with a written description of the information it contains). At 250px in the nomination it is already larger than the standard thumbnail, and one can only make out the first two lines. None of the intermediate sizes achieved by clicking on the image makes it any better, until you reach full size. Then you can only see one column vertically at a time (until you have to switch to reading horizontally). If there was an article written about the broadside itself, maybe the EV would be there to mitigate not being able to really see anything in the thumbnail (but there is no way to make it large enough within an article to read the text). As is, interesting, but not (in my opinion) FP.--
