Cavalry at Balaklava

**Original** - A restored lithograph that shows the 6th (Inniskilling) Dragoons and the 5th Dragoon Guards engaging the Russian cavalry in the midst of the camp of the light cavalry brigade which is being plundered by the Russian troops during the battle of Balaklava.

Reason: It has a high educational value in 6th (Inniskilling) Dragoons, 5th Dragoon Guards and is a high quality/resolution restoration.

Weak support Can we try to also get material from some other artists? At my count, this would be the third FP from Simpson. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 17:43, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support. I'm with PLW concerning the artist, but I do think there is value for the article on the 6th Dragoons especially. Just a note- William Simpson is a dab page; you want William Simpson (artist). J Milburn (talk) 18:21, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I'm restoring another crimean war lithograph by another artist, along with a picture of a renault tank in a ditch. I'm also actively looking for any material regarding korea to restore, if anyone has any ideas. NativeForeigner ^Talk/_Contribs 00:00, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support. As long as each image has separate ev we can feature them all. Think of this as the Crimean parallel to Muhammad's quest at documenting the world's fly species. :) Durova⁴¹² 04:22, 12 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't think it's a precise paralell, although I certainly appreciate what you are saying. J Milburn (talk) 14:17, 12 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - We also have at least five FPs of Gustave Doré engravings. Between Simpson and Doré and Muhammad we're getting excellent coverage of the Crimean War and historic literature and houseflies: it's equally good for the site to illustrate all these subjects in depth.
