Balzac1901


This image is currently used to illustrate the page for La Comédie humaine by Honoré de Balzac. (It's also used on the French page.) I think it's pretty good, but I'd like to have a shot which illustrates the enormity of the project (nearly 100 novels and stories). To this end, I've taken and   like it. (I don't know how kosher it is to show thumbnails here; this is my first time at FPR.) Which do folks prefer and why?

I don't have a fancy camera or any real knowledge of photography, but given the featured-ness of the, I feel like one of these could be at some point featured. Thanks in advance for any comments or thoughts.

 * Keep in mind that the featured picture you referred to is a featured picture on Commons. What encyclopedic value does this image add to the article about the books? --Krm500 (talk) 02:38, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I feel that the well-used condition of the books testifies to the endurance of the work. (They're over 100 years old.) I'm not sure I understand the question; these books are the subject of that article, so I would think the encyclopedic value is obvious. Apologies if I'm just being dense. – Scartol  •  Tok  03:15, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
