Original – The last sultan of the Ottoman Empire, Mehmed VI.
Reason
A reasonably high-quality carte-de-visite photograph by the sultan's official photographer. Not that that's in the article yet; I really need to make one on Sébah & Joaillier. It was an interesting cleanup job: there was blue fibres stuck to the lower right, and brown marks across the middle. Hence why I haven't had a lot of nominations this week.

FP category for this image
Well, a sultan is both a religious, royal, and political figure... I'd say Wikipedia:Featured pictures/People/Royalty and nobility or Wikipedia:Featured pictures/People/Political are probably the most significant?

  • Support - Very nice restoration, decent quality image. Just a nitpick (I seem to have them a lot now, don't I?): there seems to be a fingerprint on the far right side of the card, at the border, about 200 pixels lower than his shoulder. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 02:54, 7 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
