[[Image:Sortie de l'opéra en l'an 2000-2.jpg|thumb|250px|'''Original''' - Leaving the opera in the year 2000, hand-coloured [[lithograph]] by [[:en:Albert Robida|Albert Robida]] (ca. 1882)]]
[[File:Albert Robida - La Sortie de l'opéra en l'an 2000.jpg|thumb|250px|'''For comparison''' - unrestored version]]
;Reason:As with the [[:File:Aerial_house3.jpg|other Robida image]] recently promoted to FP: it's a lovely image. And this one does an even better job of illustrating early science fiction: we're talking 1880s, before [[zeppelin]]s or other dirigibles, before [[automobile]]s, and here's Robida imagining all sorts of [[airship]]s large and small, with steering wheels, headlights and even horns. There's women driving, there's chauffeurs, there's bus-like airships, and there's [[helipad]]s: amazing, really.
:Dust and scratches, stains and tears removed. Top left corner and part of legend recreated. Colour adjusted.
:[Note: LoC lists the date as "1882?", but there's a charming little [[Eiffel tower]] in the image, so it ''may'' be from the late 1880s.]

* '''Support, with a few recommendations for further improvement''': It'd benefit from about half a degree of clockwise rotation. A little more work on the slight staining down the middle could also pay off, particularly the top half of the image, where it's particularly dark. Finally, the image goes to the edge of the paper, which is a little awkward for you: See if you can rotate it in such a way that you can crop it without losing any details (remember you can fill in any missing slivers with the clone stamp) that'd probably be better than the current situation. Do that last, though, and I'd suggest uploading an alternative where you don't go down that somewhat extreme route. Finally, for archival purposes, it's best to also provide a PNG version. Your restoration is very good - hence why I'm supporting - but I do think just a tiny bit more work could make it incredible.

:: Thanks for the kind words. I was wondering about the rotation: the image <s>as cropped now is</s> <ins>was</ins> the way it was printed on the page, wonky legend and all, and I'd opted to keep it like that. <s>Version 2 is</s> <ins>I've now</ins> rotated and cropped <ins>it</ins> to the drawing content (the top left is not the end of the drawing, there's a pinkish wash covering all of the page except for the Seine), and I had a stab at removing the discoloration in the center. Ah, and there's a [[:file:Sortie de l'opéra en l'an 2000-2.png|PNG version too]], which of course won't thumbnail, but oh well. :) -- [[User:Mvuijlst|Mvuijlst]] ([[User talk:Mvuijlst|talk]]) 05:14, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
:: Darn. I meant to upload a 2b version, ended up uploading the new version over the old one. Sorry -- [[User:Mvuijlst|Mvuijlst]] ([[User talk:Mvuijlst|talk]]) 05:24, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
:::That looks great, though it does lose a few details on the far right - And yes, I know this crop is particularly difficult. Try a teensy bit more on that side. Otherwise, pretty much spot-on perfect.
:::If it can't be cropped to the image edges due to them not being even, there's more on the right than the left, so I'd favour it, then create new paper on the left to balance. Alternatively, just upload File:Sortie de l'opéra en l'an 2000-2 uncropped.jpg
:::Hope I'm not being too difficult! [[User:Shoemaker's Holiday|Shoemaker's Holiday]] ([[User talk:Shoemaker's Holiday|talk]]) 11:50, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
::::Not a problem. Tried a slightly different rotation/crop: no loss to the right, cloned in a sliver of background along the right hand side at the bottom and on the left edge. -- [[User:Mvuijlst|Mvuijlst]] ([[User talk:Mvuijlst|talk]]) 13:39, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
:::::Perfect: '''Full support''', once this is in some articles. [[User:Shoemaker's Holiday|Shoemaker's Holiday]] ([[User talk:Shoemaker's Holiday|talk]]) 22:03, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
*'''Comment'''. This needs to demonstrate encyclopedic value ''on English Wikipedia'' before it is eligible for featured picture status. It's an interesting image, but it needs to be placed in an article or three.--[[User:Ragesoss|ragesoss]] ([[User talk:Ragesoss|talk]]) 20:13, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
