Harriet Tubman

 * Reason:After months of searching I've finally located a high resolution portrait of Harriet Tubman at the Library of Congress rare book division. It's from the end of her life (she was 91 when this was taken), but look at the expression in her face and the way she grasps the arm of the chair.  This is a distinctive portrait of an important historic figure.  Restored version of Image:Harriet Tubman late in life.jpg.

 * Support - High quality image. Nice job digging the image up! Pie is good   (Apple is the best)  21:44, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose Sloppy composition - cut off at the bottom. Similar to the labour party shot, nice but not FP IMO --Fir0002 00:45, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Support. Yes, the composition is a little awkward, but there are several good ways it could be cropped for other contexts, and as Durova points out, it has a ton of character.--ragesoss (talk) 02:25, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Support. Unless the photographer can reshoot with better composition. Seriously, likely to be one of the best photos of this period of her life. Mostlyharmless (talk) 04:15, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak Support I agree with Fir, though it's not enough to make me oppose.  Spencer T♦C 17:23, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
