Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Harriet Tubman

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Original - Harriet Tubman, 1911.
Reason
After months of searching I've finally located a high resolution portrait of Harriet Tubman at the Library of Congress rare book division. It's from the end of her life (she was 91 when this was taken), but look at the expression in her face and the way she grasps the arm of the chair. This is a distinctive portrait of an important historic figure. Restored version of Image:Harriet Tubman late in life.jpg.
