Kingstown, [now Dún Laoghaire], County Dublin, Ireland

 * Reason:Dún Laoghaire was hit by a bomb in WWII, this irreversably changed the view. Also, this was a fashionable Dublin suburb of the Victorian period. Also, yes, we've seen this before, but I did not see the image until today, and thought it'd make a fun quickish restoration. There were a lot of problems in last week's nomination. I don't propose to list them. Two restoration options: They vary in colours alone. Interestingly, the limits of the photochrom are surprisingly similar to electronic versions of photographs: Photochroms evidently could not create a perfect gradient of tints, so there's something a little similar to posterisation in the clouds, but for mechanical reasons. This is because we're pushing the limits of 19th century colour photograph technology (please don't oppose over this! It was the best the technology could do!)

 * Support either as nominator, prefer Option 2 --Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 08:25, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment I'm confused. Isn't the same picture as the one in Recently Closed Noms? But it's supposed to be of Saint Vincent (island) there. Can someone straighten this out? Makeemlighter (talk) 19:21, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh, nevermind. I just saw what you said on that nomination. Makeemlighter (talk) 19:22, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, the attribution there was completely wrong, and I've removed it from the St. Vincent articles. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 00:02, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak support alt 1. Technically not the best photochrom.  The water in particular is unrealistically placid.  Weak supporting for historic EV due to subsequent wartime damage.  Durova  275 04:38, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
