  • Oppose because for one it is primarily an image of text, rather than a picture in its own right. And while a nice addition to the article I don't think it conveys much encyclopedic information about him. Fletcher (talk) 19:11, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose. Pictures that are primarily text are not be a problem per se - just think of images illustrating typography topics. But this image, as Fletcher has said, isn't particularly encyclopaedic for the article. And just to forestall anyone suggesting this, I don't think cropping to the portrait would be particularly useful, since the craftsmanship seems rather low, as well as the resolution.
