 * Support: An interesting piece of work, in very good condition and a great size.  EV is excellent, too, being both contemporary and an ideal snapshot of Croker's vice-like grip on NYC.  We even get recognisable caricatures of major players: Whitelaw Reid, Thomas C. Platt, John Jacob Astor IV, and (not so recognisable) the assumed figures of Charles Francis Murphy, head of Tammany Hall itself, and August Belmont, Jr. (just to name a few).  Aptly, soubrettes make an appearance, too; we can't forget the ladies, :)   Mae din \talk 09:17, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Weak support. Great image, but the fine details (including the text) are a little too soft.--ragesoss (talk) 23:56, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
