The Diverting History of John Gilpin (Part I)
Voting period ends on 5 Mar 2015  at 08:03:22 (UTC)


 * Reason:Caldecott is really notable, William Cowper, while a bit out-of-fashion, possibly for good reasons (he pads a bit) is highly notable, and even Edmund Evans, the publisher is notable. This is the first two images from the set, provided to allow initial comments before I finish it. I intend to finish the colour illustrations next, then the black and white. The article discusses the illustrations.
 * Question: Aren't they a bit pale? It's more the other images on that page are too dark and over-saturated. I have the book. There's a strong tendency for people to do that sort of edit if they don't work against the originals.

 * Question - Why just part 1? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:57, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
 * As I said, figured checking everything was alright so far wouldn't hurt before finishing the set. Adam Cuerden (talk) 18:40, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Yeah the quality's certainly there... — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:50, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Support - Great illustrations. - CorinneSD (talk) 18:31, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment - perhaps just nominate the first one solo? With two images it is an incomplete set. I don't see any reason you couldn't nominate the entire set later (or defined subsets) including a single that may already be featured, IMO...--Godot13 (talk) 08:58, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
