- Excellent composition, as one would expect from Nadar, but a minor restoration would benefit this greatly. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 13:39, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
- Comment. As the original uploader of this image, and the person who added it to the article, I'm pleased to see it recognized. Crawdad Blues (talk) 17:37, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
- And thank you for restoring it, Crawdad Blues! I've played around a bit to try and minimize the visibility of the dust specks in the hard to restore areas and remove the scratch on the plate. Please have a look. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 11:13, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks, Chris. Looks good to me. Apart from cropping the frame and cleaning up the most obvious blemishes, I didn't tinker with it much, partly because I don't have a lot of spare time for Wikipedia-related tasks, and partly because it was already in relatively good shape for a historical photo. But I have no ownership issues and it's fine with me if others want to put more work into it. The real credit goes to Nadar for the photograph itself, to Boston music critic Philip Hale for preserving it, and to the Boston Public Library for making it widely available.

- Support Nadar is a great historical person of his profession. Among his innumerable photos, I like this & this FPs of him, both nominated by Adam Cuerden in Oct. 2019. The first one is much famous among Iranian elites. – Hamid Hassani (talk) 16:32, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
