Original - Lithograph of Louis Agassiz, a 19th century Swiss-American zoologist and geologist, and one of the most noted scientists of the day
Alternative - Louis Agassiz
Reason
Scientists are pathetically unrepresented in our FPs, with a total of approximately zero, unless you take a long shot and count Edison and/or Thomson, or the group shot from the Solvay Conference. While going through the delist for the low EV Agassiz statue below, I found a couple of decent shots of him in the article. I prefer the first one, it falls just short of the 1000px, but near enough for me. The second one is good too if people want to be really anal about the size requirements, but I prefer the first.
