•  Comment This is yellow. I think File:Albert Einstein 1921 by F Schmutzer.jpg is better. ;o) Regards, Yann (talk) 18:13, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
•  Neutral great picture but perhaps too much yellow - Jiel (talk) 22:15, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
  •  Comment I'm not quite sure which photographic process was used, but many at the time genuinely were very yellow. In particular, turning things sepia was one of the major ways of preserving silver... nitrate, I think - prints, as the chemical reaction fixed them and protected them from further exposure (the other turned them the normal black and white) meaning this was a choice.

•  Support -- but it's modern print (post 2001) surely? The point is that Schmutzer's 1921 etching was a sepia aquatint. Hence I suppose the choice of a sepia print by the gallery that sourced this. Coat of Many Colours (talk) 15:17, 15 August 2014 (UTC)

Alternative

•  Support I hope you don't might I propose an alternative. ;o) Yann (talk) 07:06, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
•  Support I like this alternative much better. --Villy Fink Isaksen (talk) 11:11, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
•  Oppose The original photograph is sepia toned; I'm uncomfortable with the idea of taking a historic image, and changing it solely for the purpose of matching modern sensibilities of how it ought to look. Adam Cuerden (talk) 14:56, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
•  Support I like this version. Good work. --Halavar (talk) 22:05, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
•  Oppose Too harsh for me. The original softer sepia rendering is much finer IMHO. --Kreuzschnabel (talk) 05:02, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
•  Comment I prefer the sepia as it's more in keeping with Schmutzer's original etching. Thanks for your input regarding the debate about this image, by the way. I'm glad we managed to save it. It really is an exceptionally fine image with many pages linking. Coat of Many Colours (talk) 15:21, 15 August 2014 (UTC)
