 * Comment what's up with the dots at 100%? I don't believe there were any printing methods back in 1873 that created dots like that. Maybe there was a weird texture on the paper? Or maybe the scanner was set for the wrong setting (like maybe it was set to scan halftone)?-Andrew c 04:18, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Drat, you're right. I think something happened in the photocopying process (can't take archives out of a library) that messed it up. I'll withdraw the nomination, and get a clean, fresh copy. or, at least, confirm that the original looks like that. Adam Cuerden talk 04:50, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Withdrawn by nominator pending better version/confirmation of appearance of original
