Comment I think it could use just a little bit of restoration... Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 06:25, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- You're volunteering, right? Curly Turkey ⚞¡gobble!⚟ 07:01, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - Naturally. But, as I've done about 10 hours of restoration today... tomorrow, methinks. It shouldn't take too long... Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 07:05, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    - Merci bien! Curly Turkey ⚞¡gobble!⚟ 07:09, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      - Sorry it's taking so long. Trying to get all the dots to align properly slows down restoration a lot. Count this as a support if it closes before then - we can always do a quick delist and replace.Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 03:35, 20 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support I'm not sure how to interpret Adam's comment, but I'm happy with the slightly gritty quality of the reproduction. I don't think we need to compensate for inherent flaws of the print. Thumbmarks etc. are a different story, of course, but at a quick glance, I only saw one obvious smudge that looked non-original. Samsara (FA • FP) 15:28, 22 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There's a small amount of dirt. Not much. It's just a nightmare to clean. =) Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 07:22, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
