 * Reason:One of the best-looking carte de visites I've seen in quite some time. Nadar did an amazing job with the technology of the time at capturing a clear, crisp photo of a very notable composer. Replaced a terrible reproduction of the same image.
 * Articles in which this image appears:Charles Gounod, Georgina Weldon, List of Romantic-era composers, Nadar (photographer)
 * FP category for this image:WP:Featured pictures/People/Entertainment
 * Creator:Nadar (a.k.a. Gaspard-Félix Tournachon), restored by Adam Cuerden

 * Probably went about as far in that line as we ought. Adam Cuerden (talk) 16:19, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Support – I've written about Nadar, BTW. Would love it if any of his ballooning pictures were up to FP snuff. Vesuvius Dogg (talk) 17:15, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Funny you should mention that. I was seeing some rather good ones on a skim of Nadar's work at http://gallica.bnf.fr - have a look around his work. Adam Cuerden (talk) 18:26, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
