Support It's not the best painting ever, but it's a good depiction of the otherwise poorly-documented appearance of a notable person. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 18:13, 28 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support In the absence of photos such contemporary portraits are especially valuable. Reminds the craft of George Catlin. Brandmeister^talk 21:00, 28 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Looks very blurry, and considering the size of this image (4,161 × 6,400 pixels), image size is on the low side. Otherwise quite interesting, and to be honest I'd never heard of ledger drawings. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 11:29, 29 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Support - Oh, what the heck. I can't find anything to show my fears are founded in something real. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:35, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support, nice find. I added it to Burbank's article, since it's the best scan one of his paintings we have, and cleaned up the caption here a little. This was a popular style of painting and influential for views of Native Americans after 1900. Chick Bowen 02:00, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
