  • Support as nominator --Secret Saturdays (talk to me)what's new? 00:12, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment The image description page for this is severely lacking. Also, 'creator' refers to the artist, not the uploader. Jujutacular talk 00:31, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Update Thanks for working to improve the description, but the original source is not Commons unless this was artificially enlarged (Commons: 800px, here: 1061px). You may try discussing with the uploader. Also, I'll have to oppose at this time. If we could get a higher resolution scan and one that isn't cropped so tightly (per JM), I could support. My searches on LOC yielded nothing. Jujutacular talk 03:04, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: I agree with Juju, and the picture is clearly cropped too closely- seems to be missing "A" from "A run on the bank" (in the middle on the left). J Milburn (talk) 00:46, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Comment I have spoken with Rjensen, but he says that he forgot what book it came from, so I think it'll be best that I withdraw my nomination. Secret Saturdays (talk to me)what's new? 23:37, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
