B'nai B'rith

 * Reason:While I disagreed with Durova's colour choices, I think the underlying work has merit, and is important for countering systemic bias. Luckily, Durova believes in making her work accessible to other restorationists, thus I was able to go to a partially-finished restoration, and rework from there. I believe this is a more accurate colour scheme - brown ink was a common ink colour, for instance, squid ink or sepia, so there's no reason to presume brown is wrong - and I also left in some clear signs of paper grain, which I think makes it look better.

 * Previous nomination of alt version from last week for those who don't know what the heck the reason is on about :-). --jjron (talk) 13:10, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah... I didn't really get to this in good time, but, oh, well. That an important subject gets an FP in the end through collaborative restoration is probably more important than the timing =) Shoemaker&#39;s Holiday (talk) 13:57, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Support Agreed-- this version is a far more realistic restoration. Have you contacted WP:JEW yet?--HereToHelp (talk to me) 02:00, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Notifying the WikiProject during the nomination might give the appearance of canvassing. Of course, should it pass, I'm sure one of us will tell them =) Shoemaker&#39;s Holiday (talk) 02:11, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Support. Nice image with lots of detail visible. Not really qualified to talk about the colour, but will assume you are. ;-) Diliff  | (Talk)   (Contribs) 16:49, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Support The other version does look over-edited. This version is high quality and still retains its antique feel.  hmwith  τ   13:27, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
