 * Reason:A high-quality photogravure which I think has vastly improved his page.
 * Articles in which this image appears:Chief Joseph (and a few it was just addded to)
 * FP category for this image:Given the Nez Perce War, probably Featured pictures/People/Military? Could also argue for political or nobility.
 * Creator:Edward Sheriff Curtis, restored by Adam Cuerden. Yes, I'm on one of my deep dives.


 * Support as nominator – Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.8% of all FPs. 11:20, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Support – Detailed capture of Chief Joseph, probably showing his features better than some other period pics, such as this one (featured in Battle of the Clearwater). Now leads target bio infobox. A hero to Native Americans. – Sca (talk) 14:45, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Aye. Think the 1874 pic has some justification for the events in 1874. The old lead image, though, was a photograph of a drawing - or at minimum, a photo so extremely retouched by Victorians to be indistinguishable from one - which is surely the worst possibility Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.8% of all FPs. 18:08, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Book: Merril Beal: I Will Fight No More Forever: Chief Joseph and the Nez Perce War (1963). – Sca (talk) 15:13, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Support Charlesjsharp (talk) 12:15, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Made a few additional fixes to the light spot in the upper left: It varies between copies of this, and the copy from the Smithsonian is on the most visible side. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.8% of all FPs. 17:31, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Support – Hamid Hassani (talk) 03:35, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Support Moonreach (talk) 19:24, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Support. I would side with Featured pictures/People/Political; Joseph led his people for decades before and after the war. blameless  03:52, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Fair point. Political, then. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.8% of all FPs. 13:51, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
