Gustave Doré

 * Reason:A fine photograph of the artist, by Nadar, a famous photographer. Conveniently close in time (within a year or two) to what I'd say were his most famous works: his Bible and Dante's Inferno illustrations, which does put this in fairly early photography, but... it's a good one. Bottom isn't quite straight, but, well... I mean, I can digitally fix that, but don't think I should. It's honestly surprisingly common in prints and engravings for them not to be quite square, and it's never clear why; honestly, it's probably just that it's not that noticable if you don't surround it with a true rectangle.

 * Support – Great restoration. My only problem is the border surrounding the portrait, but that can't be helped without diminished the historical value of the image imo. I love Doré's illustrations, so I'm very happy to see his picture restored. ― Howard • 🌽33 13:22, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I can tell you it took bloody ages. So much dust. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.8% of all FPs. 13:55, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Just noticed I accidentally linked the PNG not the JPEG in use. (PNG is lossless so good to have if I notice a dust speck later or the like). Fixed that. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.8% of all FPs. 18:28, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

 * Comment – Adam, nice restoration but why is the resolution of the restored image (2,385 × 3,000) lower than the original image (3,340 × 4,201) ? The source link: on the file page needs correction . Bammesk (talk) 03:21, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Remember I had some trouble with getting the fullsize version. I'd have to restart the restoration, though, to scale up. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.8% of all FPs. 16:08, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Ok I understand. It has the votes and it meets the 1500px criterion, so you don't have redo it if you don't want to. Bammesk (talk) 01:28, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Might do it as a followup later. Hard to jump back in right away. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.8% of all FPs. 01:37, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
