  • I don't think so. This is just a rather bad scan and thus most likely a copyright violation! Source self-made shows a misunderstanding of licensing policies. --Dschwen 14:37, 30 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Aside from the terrible quality, the thumb marks and light along the side indicate scan of an ad in a periodical and likely copyright infringement. Poor quality, breach of copyright, poor composition (likely due to the cropping of information around the border revealing where it came from).

  • I don't like that its so dark, I'd prefer it in daylight --Hadseys 15:39, 30 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • The clearly visible Moiré pattern in combination with the photo itself indeed indicate a scan of a professional halftone print. Support speedy deletion as copyvio. Dorftrottel (criticise) 18:41, April 30, 2008
