"Au Clair de la Lune" illustration

 * Reason:A work by a major illustrator who studied and exhibited as a fine artist before turning to children's literature. The particular selection for this nomination is notable as the first song for which a recorded performance survives: "Au Clair de la Lune" (historic recording) is a traditional French folk song recorded in 1860.  Restored version of Image:Au Clair de la Lune children's book.jpg.
 * Articles this image appears in:Au Clair de la Lune, Louis-Maurice Boutet de Monvel

 * Comment I like the image, but it seems too small (due to not only the file size but also the big portion of the score on the illustration)--Caspian blue 19:10, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
 * The file size itself is within standard FP parameters. I'll leave it to fellow Wikipedians to decide whether the score deserves to be regarded as a separate element or a complementary part of the whole.  To my eye they seem very closely tied.  An English translation of the lyrics is available at the song page.  Durova Charge! 19:49, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Support Good EV and, as always, an excellent restoration by Durova. Great job. Elucidate (parlez à moi) Ici pour humor 20:54, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
 *  Conditional  At first I thought, "blah, there's not much enc in this", but after going to the article and listening to that recording... Put a link to the recording itself in the caption, and you get my support! --Janke | Talk 06:31, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Good suggestion; done. Durova Charge! 07:40, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
 * It would be even better if you could put a nice little "Play" button into the caption... (I tried, but couldn't figure out how to do it neatly... ;-) --Janke | Talk 16:49, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
 * That'd be a wonderful feature. I don't think I've ever seen it done.  Durova Charge! 22:48, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Please revert my button experiment if you don't like it... (Or, can anyone do it better?) --Janke | Talk 20:33, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks very much for the edit! :) Does this mean you support? Durova Charge! 21:51, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I guess that's what I said... ;-) --Janke | Talk 22:14, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I've taken the liberty of tweaking a bit further. I had to figure some of these out when working on featured sounds. Shoemaker&#39;s Holiday (talk) 02:12, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Great! I didn't know of that "noicon" trick... ;-) --Janke | Talk 09:28, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
 * It's not very well-documented. I learned it from the Listen template when I was making a new template for use in DYKs. =) Shoemaker&#39;s Holiday (talk) 07:30, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Support Very nice.  Spencer T♦C 19:12, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Oppose, the FP criteria says about the resolution. "Still images should be a minimum of 1000 pixels along the smallest side; larger sizes are generally preferred." 681 × 600 is simply not enough for a FP. bogdan (talk) 14:18, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Support - very original and encyclopedic. Intothewoods29 (talk) 19:28, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Support plenty of resolution for this subject matter. --Leivick (talk) 23:27, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
