 * Creator:Mathew Brady and Levin Corbin Handy


 * Support as nominator --Spongie555 (talk) 03:16, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment: Appears only in the list article; I am not wild about the EV here. J Milburn (talk) 09:00, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I'd argue that this picture, whether FP-worthy or not, is superior to the infobox image in Pedro II of Brazil. Nautica Shad es  11:35, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
 * It's a featured article- I recommend raising it on the talk page. I'm going to oppose based on its current usage- I'd be willing to reconsider if it was placed in the infobox in the main article. J Milburn (talk) 18:51, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I have raised the issue on the main articles talk page and contacted the user who is the main editor of the empire of Brazil and Pedro II of brazil articles. Spongie555 (talk) 19:19, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Support A fine picture, indeed. J Milburn, this photograph is presently the main picture in Apogee of Pedro II of Brazil which will deal with the Emperor's trip to the United States (where the photo was taken). Right now I'm finishing Princess Maria Amélia of Brazil (Pedro II's younger sister). Once I'm done with it, I'll improve the article about Pedro II's apogee as emperor. Thus, the photo has a place that of prominence. I believe you should support it. Kind regards, --Lecen (talk) 19:36, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Support. Good quality and restoration, and the EV works with the Apogee of Pedro II of Brazil article. Nautica Shad es  11:35, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Support A very good photograph with much EV, eye-catchiness and good quality for that time.-- ♫Greatorangepumpkin♫ T 10:25, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Support quality is quite good. It really ought to be placed prominently in Pedro II's article though. Maybe the image could also benefit from a slight brightening? Purpy Pupple (talk) 10:40, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Support High EV and nice restoration, but as everyone has been saying, do try to give this more prominence in terms of where it appears. SMasters (talk) 12:56, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
