Woodrow and Edith Wilson

 * Reason:Edith Bolling Galt Wilson, the wife of President Woodrow Wilson, was arguably the most powerful First Lady in United States history. President Wilson suffered a stroke in 1919 and remained disabled for the rest of his life, although he also remained president until his term ended in 1921.  After the stroke his wife Edith filtered the information that she deemed necessary to bring to his attention.  Here, in his first posed portrait after the stroke, Wilson signs a document while his wife holds the paper steady.  He was paralyzed on his left side.

 * Comment I don't think this meets the resolution requirement - as soon as you go above 600px height, you start noticing utter lack of sharpness in this picture. You may have captured the photographic grain perfectly, but that's not much help if the original photograph is unsharp, or perhaps of excessively coarse grain.

 * Oppose per Papa Lima Whiskey. It's jut not a good enough photo, technically.--ragesoss (talk) 21:33, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - However, I think we should recognise the work Durova put into the photograph to get it to this state. It's a useful, encyclopedic addition to the articles, it's just a pity the original photographer sucked, but was there for such a perfect scene.
