Original - Japanese sampan-type river boat. Painted photograph from Japan, dating from before 1886, according to a written note on the album containing the photographs. Presumed Author of the original photographs: Adolfo Farsari.
Support as nominator. Unique and beautiful. What was thought to be a scribbled "A" at bottom is actually a stick sticking out of the water. Color constitution may not be perfect, but regarding being 125 years old, it's surprisingly good quality. Mikael Häggström (talk) 16:33, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Just an update: I may be a little bit longer getting to this. Lot of things going on, and the things I normally work with use slightly different skillsets to photos, so it's going to be a little slow once I do start. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 17:32, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
For my part, I think it can just as well be placed in "nominations older than 7 days", since there is (yet) no change in the picture since the beginning of this nomination. Mikael Häggström (talk) 05:21, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Fug. Just close it or unsuspend it. It's in my to do list, and will get done when it gets done. I hate working with photos, so it's very for me to procrastinate on them. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 10:26, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Suspended for another user to restore the image. Has yet to be done after good length of time. Now requests closure until said work can be completed, at which point a new nomination will take place ~ ωαdεstεr16«talkstalk»15:59, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
