- Reason
- A high-quality photogravure which I think has vastly improved his page.
- Articles in which this image appears
- Chief Joseph (and a few it was just addded to)
- FP category for this image
- Given the Nez Perce War, probably Wikipedia:Featured pictures/People/Military? Could also argue for political or nobility.
- Creator
- Edward Sheriff Curtis, restored by Adam Cuerden. Yes, I'm on one of my deep dives.
- Support as nominator – Adam Cuerden ( talk)Has about 8.8% of all FPs. 11:20, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
- Support – Detailed capture of Chief Joseph, probably showing his features better than some other period pics, such as
this one (featured in
Battle of the Clearwater). Now leads target bio infobox. A hero to Native Americans. –

- Aye. Think the 1874 pic has some justification for the events in 1874. The old lead image, though, was a photograph of a drawing - or at minimum, a photo so extremely retouched by Victorians to be indistinguishable from one [1] - which is surely the worst possibility Adam Cuerden ( talk)Has about 8.8% of all FPs. 18:08, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

- @ Sca, MER-C, Yann, and Charlesjsharp: Made a few additional fixes to the light spot in the upper left: It varies between copies of this, and the copy from the Smithsonian is on the most visible side. Adam Cuerden ( talk)Has about 8.8% of all FPs. 17:31, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

- Support. I would side with
Wikipedia:Featured pictures/People/Political; Joseph led his people for decades before and after the war.

- ^ That's apparently a thing. Something about reproducing photos of photos of photos and adding details back in. More common with daguerrotypes, where there isn't an easy way to reproduce them.
