- Reason
- Per last nomination, a restored version. I'm using the title from the Library of Congress; The word negro was a lot more acceptable and polite in 1939, but it feels wrong to change the title at our end before the holding library does.

- Support Bad left crop was careless unless this is a crop of the original. Charlesjsharp (talk) 08:02, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- The original two copies show film edges there. It's possible Lee intended to crop it: can't really change aspect ratio on a film camera - but my rule is to let our reusers do any desired crops unless there's a very good reason (severe damage, very minor crops of blank areas to centre subject or lose vignetting, crop mark on image (though I tend to play crop marks by ear; hard to tell publisher ones from artist ones, and publishers of the time may be cropping for crappy halftone newspaper reproduction) Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.9% of all FPs. 16:02, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
