Rob Roy

 * Reason:Restored version of File:Dalziel Brothers - Sir Walter Scott - Rob Roy in the Crypt of Glasgow Cathedral unrestored.jpg. This shows the gothic, atmospheric meeting that sets off the exciting second half of the book, and I think does an excellent job at capturing the mood. The engravers are highly notable, and the book is, of course, very well known. This was nominated before (and actually had a consensus of support which was overruled, then it got caught up in various drama related to a series of awkward closures...); however, I think it's now accepted that a good illustration of a book is useful to have, which a lot of the opposes seemed against at the time.

 * Comment Nice restoration, but I'm not sure the image of a character's back has a good EV.--Caspian blue 17:36, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Osbaldistone is in three-quarters view - you CAN see his face, Rob Roy isn't seen at this point in the story. To do what you suggest, it would have to be of a completely different scene. Shoemaker's Holiday Over 184 FCs served 18:12, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Support: I supported last time and again.  I can't imagine a better illustration for the novel; it shows all the intrigue and promise of action that fills the novel.  The caption on the page gives you all the information you need to know: "Listen—but do not look back."  Makings for a good novel, that line, ;-)   Mae din \talk 07:45, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Support I don't think I voted last time, but Shoemaker's and Maedin's arguments convince me --Muhammad (talk) 23:52, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Support because it's a wonderful example of its kind; EV for the novel is less significant but obviously not a drawback. Nice restoration. --mikaultalk 09:45, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - an image in my field and definitely high quality. Ottava Rima (talk) 14:52, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
