Comment Been eyeing this. It's a reprint. It's better by far than what we have, but I'm somewhat waiting for a more original copy, especially given the darker printing. Adam Cuerden(

Oppose Per
Janke. There is a huge very high quality TIFF scan of the original London Opinion front page here
[1] I might look at getting it converted and uploaded. I think it would have greater EV, be better quality and make a better potential FP than this version -

Wolftick: You known, it helps immensely when the guy who nominated the image is informed that there be a new version. I've put the alt in an article, so its now an eligible FPC candidate - not that it will be of much use, since we are also out of voting time here.

TomStar81: Sorry. I considered the availability of a similar but superior (in my opinion) image a reason for my oppose rather than a potential alt. I uploaded it because I had already downloaded and converted it for myself so thought it was worthwhile, but didn't plan on updating the relevant articles myself for the time being so didn't think it was eligible for, or relevant to, nomination other than if people might want to look in order to assess my judgement. In retrospect I realise it may have been useful to ping you to let you know of the existence of the image. -
