After months of searching I've finally located a high resolution portrait of
Harriet Tubman at the Library of Congress rare book division. It's from the end of her life (she was 91 when this was taken), but look at the expression in her face and the way she grasps the arm of the chair. This is a distinctive portrait of an important historic figure. Restored version of

Oppose Sloppy composition - cut off at the bottom. Similar to the labour party shot, nice but not FP IMO --

Support. Yes, the composition is a little awkward, but there are several good ways it could be cropped for other contexts, and as Durova points out, it has a ton of character.--

Support. Unless the photographer can reshoot with better composition. Seriously, likely to be one of the best photos of this period of her life.
