 * Reason:Somewhat grainy, but that's fairly excusable - photography around 1900 is prone to that. Still, this IS a good image. The pose is very natural, and there's a reasonable amount of detail; her face is well represented. Plus the photographer is notable. Colour is reasonably accurate - the TIFF has colour bars, though I did darken up the blacks a little, to correct for fading.

 * Comment Please try to improve the quality. Though taken during bygone days of unrefined photography, we shouldn't show leniency. As this picture was improved, this can also be cleared. --Rainbow Archer (talk) 12:27, 22 July 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure you quite get hat's possible and impossible. The scratches and such have been fixed on this image, and the contrast upped. There's not much more that can be done; the remaining problems are graininess. Going back to the original negatives might help a bit, but Adolph de Meyer's original negatives are almost entirely lost, so that's probably not possible.

 * There are other problems also. As she is wearing hat, the shadow is covering her face's upper part. Her forehead is not visible and she is the subject here. Rainbow Archer (talk) 16:25, 22 July 2016 (UTC)
 * While true, clothing does tell us something about her - her dramatic taste in clothing contrasts nicely with her calm facial expression. Adam Cuerden (talk) 16:31, 22 July 2016 (UTC)
