•  Comment A bit noisy, but it may still be OK. There are a few spots and scratches to remove before being promoted (see notes). Regards, Yann (talk) 08:57, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

  I am aware of the spots and scratches but the problem is that removing them may harm the originality of the photograph.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 09:29, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

  I don't think there is any need to keep such defects. I remove such spots and scratches from old pictures all the time. I can help, if you like. Regards, Yann (talk) 10:43, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

  If you think it would be better to remove them, your help is welcome. Best regards.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 11:01, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

  The texture in background have been gone with bad restoring, I think that's the serious problem more than spots and scratches. If there is the original, start from the original would be better :) --Laitche (talk) 15:19, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

  Of, but where is the source? Regards, Yann (talk) 20:47, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

  I would say that the original one was taken from here.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 22:30, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

  Certainly not from this small thumbnail. Yann (talk) 22:57, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

  I meant if the high resolution original exist, that would be better to start restoration from the original... --Laitche (talk) 01:44, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

•  Comment Per Yann. I can help too. Too many spots and scratches everywhere. Don't worry about the restoration and the loss of quality: the photo was already restored before publication ! (the the left upper corner) ! Anyway, something very better is possible. This nomination is a very good idea, btw I love Tatiana Nicolaievna, she is really pretty and beautiful...--Jebulon (talk) 15:37, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
•  Support Needs restoration, but it's beautifuly taken (framing, pose, lighting), and the artifacts don't really stand in the way when looking at it. Curious if anyone familiar with early 1900s photographic process could tell how long the people had to stay still. Quite a feat IMO. - Benh (talk) 19:52, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
•  Support Iconic historic image; restoration certainly welcome but this is in fairly good condition already. Daniel Case (talk) 02:25, 3 September 2015 (UTC)
•  Support --Code (talk) 05:11, 3 September 2015 (UTC)
•  Support I removed some scratches and spots. As Jebulon said above, this photo was already restored, and IMHO, a better job could be done, preferably from the original. Anyway high EV. BTW is this from 1911 or 1913? There are conflicting info between the title and the description. Yann (talk) 17:37, 3 September 2015 (UTC)
•  Support --Ivar (talk) 18:39, 3 September 2015 (UTC)
•  Support I'll surely try a restoration, and after that an attempt of "delist and replace", but ok now. In memoriam Tatiana.--Jebulon (talk) 19:35, 3 September 2015 (UTC)
