Support Very rare, very interesting. Eye-catching. What appears to be depth-of-field issues is failure to hold his right arm and sword still for what was no-doubt a very long exposure; Fujifilm wouldn’t be around with the fast stuff until 1934. Greg L (talk) 23:58, 31 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support The quality is good for a photo taken in ~1860, but the EV is undeniable. Very fascinating photo -- mcshadypl ^T ^C 01:49, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
