Charles Darwin caricature

 * Reason:As Darwin Day approaches, Ragesoss located a high resolution version of an 1871 caricature from Vanity Fair. Is there room for two FPs on him in different styles and media?  You decide.  Restored version of File:VanityFair-Darwin.jpg.
 * Articles this image appears in:Charles_Darwin, Vanity Fair (magazine, historical)
 * Creator: "Coïdé", a.k.a. James Jacques Joseph Tissot (1836-1902)


 * Support as nominator -- Durova Charge! 20:31, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Support a greatly improved image of this cartoon, not quite as nice as the 1880 photo, but great if we can have both. . dave souza, talk 21:08, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Support, excellent restoration. TAway (talk) 03:54, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Support, although I wouldn't mind a bit wider crop so the black borders of show on the left and right.--ragesoss (talk) 16:54, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
 * A lot of pre-twentieth century borders are a hair off from true parallel and perpendicular, which looks awkward to viewers in our era. Durova Charge! 19:04, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Regretful oppose - there's a texture to this that doesn't look quite right from what I've seen of Vanity Fair. Not much that can be done about that, either. I also don't think it's as good of a caricature as Vanity Fair normally managed. Shoemaker&#39;s Holiday (talk) 18:46, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Oppose Mediocre quality, mediocre cartoon. Interesting nonetheless. smooth0707  (talk) 04:52, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Support per nom. Question: is there a limit to how many FPs can portray one subject? I'm kind of joking, but also kind of not... ~  ωαdεstεr 16  «talkstalk» 09:00, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Request This candidacy has been open since 20 January and has received plenty of responses. Requesting closure before Darwin Day?  Durova Charge! 08:12, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Weak oppose per Shoemaker.  Spencer T♦C 21:54, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose Not the greatest quality. And not a particularly good caricature. Makeemlighter (talk) 06:57, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
