Original – Portrait photograph of American stage actress Minnie Maddern Fiske, taken by Zaida Ben-Yusuf, 1896.
Reason
High resolution cleaned-up portrait photograph of American stage (and film) actress Minnie Maddern Fiske, photographed by Zaida Ben-Yusuf. She is known simply as Mrs. Fiske. I stumbled onto her article quite by accident and noticed her portrait was tiny, so I just replaced it on the article with this version. Work was done from the Library of Congress TIFF scan, which was in color and had color noise, so I smoothed out the noise, then converted the image to grayscale (no color profile saved).
