• Weak support I prefer lithographs a bit higher resolution, but the nature of the medium probably makes this size alright. Text could be a bit clearer. Shoemaker's Holiday ( talk ) 01:48, 6 September 2008 (UTC) Support alt [ reply ]

• Weak Support it's a little bit blurry, but it's a good image -- Music 26/ 11 19:24, 6 September 2008 (UTC) [ reply ]
  • Blur is inherent in the lithograph format. It's basically the art of creating an image out of noise: acid is used to etch a plate, and by carefully adjusting how much the acid eats into the plate, you determine how many pits there are for the ink to get into - and thus how dark the area is. Zoom in on a lithograph enough and you'll see a sort of static made out of black blobs. That said, it could be higher resolution, but I think that, for a lithograph, this is acceptable.

• Comment Looking at this one, I think it's actually rather washed-out. Allow me to suggest an alternative. Also, can this be kept open a bit longer to let people evaluate the edit? Shoemaker's Holiday ( talk ) 23:12, 7 September 2008 (UTC) [ reply ]
