Reason
Stumbled upon this today. Never actually nominated it, but it's been stable in the article since 2012, so... useful!

  • Comment – What process was used to create the plate? Some kind of engraving? In any case, not sure if offers additional EV for this short-lived historical figure. (To me, the recent monument pic is more interesting.) Sca (talk) 13:38, 25 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • Should be wood-block engraving; it uses a couple rarer techniques (such as the dotted grid effect used for the sky), but has all the hallmarks of it. I think its stability in the article for three years shows at least some EV. Adam Cuerden (talk) 14:06, 25 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - I agree, sufficient EV even if he wasn't around that long. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 15:18, 25 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
