- Reason
- While a bit small, and while I did add a little extra blank space on the right because the original uses the paper it's printed on to centre the image, and we cannae do that in a crop, it's a good image of an otherwise unillustrated person. Overpainted salt paper print, which seems to have had a lot of enhancement done by the oriignal artist.

- Comment – Target article with 167 words is more or less a stub. Nominated pic. is absent from HMS Euryalus, although Tarleton is mentioned high in the 400-word text. – Sca (talk) 13:10, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
- I think there's enough for a main page appearance. And it lacked an image before. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.5% of all FPs. 23:18, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
- What is overpainting? — Chris Woodrich (talk) 13:33, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
- In this case, enhancing the details and adding the big oval in. [1] Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.5% of all FPs. 17:51, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
- Interesting. I ask as overpainting doesn't mention anything done with photography, and the image here is certainly quite different than anything I've seen for a while. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 11:30, 27 August 2023 (UTC)

- Support - High technical quality, though I would feel better having documentation of the overpainting if it's available. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 11:30, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
- That's all that's documented, I fear. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.5% of all FPs. 19:34, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
