 * Reason:A fine bit of on-the-spot reporting, by a notable artist. Only historical image for the Green-Meldrim House article, which seems valuable.

By the way, the weird title is because that's what it's called in Waud's notes on it:
 * Articles in which this image appears:
 * William Waud
 * Green-Meldrim House
 * Could probably be used in others.
 * FP category for this image:Featured_pictures/History/USA_History
 * Creator:William Waud, restoration by Adam Cuerden

 * Minor comment - it isn't called that in his notes - the placement of "Savannah Ga" into that position in the title seems to been sloppy work by the LoC, as does the full stop after "Chas" (if they wanted to use up their excess full stops it would be better to place one after "Gen" where it would belong).

 * Actually, there's a ^ pointing at the Savannah, Ga. It's a common way to add text that you haven't left space for. Adam Cuerden (talk) 01:34, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose: sorry Adam, I'm unconvinced on this one. It's just that the illustration isn't particularly enlightening. Essentially for the image isn't exciting/doesn't draw the reader in as an image. So this puts more of a focus on EV, though, of course, "signficiant contribution" would be required anyway. So looking at what the image shows, if I was asked to describe it, it just looks like a room with a tiled floor and some fairly large pot plants. So I'm not sure what else the reader is supposed to "take away" from the image to aid his or her understanding of the topic. I think it has more potential at William Waud, since the CIvil War was his standout topic, but the article is currently bit underdeveloped - and the contribution of the image not discussed particularly.

 * Oppose Essentially per Grandiose, nothing particularly spectactular which is what's needed for something of this type. Cat-five  t  c   05:18, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, it's the only historical image we have, or are likely to get, of the Green-Meldrim House. Adam Cuerden (talk) 06:09, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Okay, post-1933 is technically historic, but not relevant to the historic events at the house. Adam Cuerden (talk) 16:46, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
