Confederate General Robert E. Lee
Reason
Compared even with other Civil War era photographs, this image appears to have a number of issues both in terms of brightness and in focus. There are several other images of Lee around, and I have to think that if a restorer of Adam Cuerden's caliber were to work on one, we'd be able to turn this from a delist to a delist and replace

  • This image isn't just a little bit off, it's bad. It was either bad when it was taken, bad when it was developed, or did not age well before being digitized, but the issues are too severe for the "but this is really old" clause. There are plenty of civil-war era images that are fundamentally sound, to which that clause can be considered. This isn't one of them. Sven Manguard Wha? 02:11, 10 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
