Support. Tricky one. On the one hand, it's not technically perfect. On the other, this is a pretty iconic image/portrayal. This is rather unlike other FPs we have, which is nice. J Milburn (talk) 01:16, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment A little more info please. Did you download it from somewhere or scan it in yourself? Did you do any restoration work? If so, please document it. Noodle snacks (talk) 06:45, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I own a poster/print, but to avoid the scratches on my copy (and because I do not have a good scanner available), I uploaded this instead [1]. It is the same image. I restored nothing, and it appears the same as my copy, so no restoration was done by anyone else, either. The range of focus is also the same. — the Man in Question (in question) 06:57, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. No evidence has been presented that this photograph was published before 1978 without a copyright notice. The image description says it's from a poster of unknown date with no copyright notice. The poster could have been published last year for all we know.

Oppose per Kaldari, unless it can be confirmed that this was distributed before 1977 without a copyright notice. Jujutacular ^T · C 22:50, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
