- Oppose – Too much frame – visual information not readily accessible. – Sca (talk) 12:29, 11 October 2021 (UTC)
- Support - Excellent. Also: for editors like Sca: the instructions above clearly state that
the image should be assessed on its quality as displayed at full size
. And at full size you can see the fine details of the picture and figures within very clearly. -- Veggies (talk) 23:07, 11 October 2021 (UTC) - Support – Nice restoration but it needs a little more. Bammesk (talk) 02:04, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

- Support IMO, the frame actually increases the EV in the Ambrotype article, since the images were so often elaborately mounted. Besides, it's been the lead image there since 2012... --Janke | Talk 14:09, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

- Support – I also think that the frame adds to its encyclopedia value. Astonished to see the details, for example, the soldier is wearing Abraham Lincoln's presidential campaign button. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 17:57, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
