- Only has EV for

IMO. It should probably be removed from the other articles. (Sorry, but I just don't think it's an appropriate style of illustration for Grant's article.) Nice job on the restoration though.

- I think it is perfectly appropriate to have a contemporary image of Grant in the Grant article, even if the style of the lithograph is not one that is often created these days. Also, I'm not sure of the appropriateness in the twelve-pound cannon article. However, the image is of fine quality; therefore, I support.

- There's a twelve-pound cannon in one of the smaller images (In the tower at Chapultepec), I agree it'd make sense to just use that bit of the image in
twelve-pound cannon
; however, as I understand it, the list of articles it's in is supposed to be comprehensive. If it hasn't been changed to a better image by tonight, I'll prepare a detail for use there.

. The Encyclopedic Value is highest in Thure de Thulstrup, where it illustrates his style well. It has reasonable EV in the Grant article, as a contemporary representation of the figure.

Per above; also, is it fair to call an image published in 1885, the year of Grant's death, contemporary? Cowtowner 23:48, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
- That's when his memoirs were published, and this pretty much illustrates his memoirs.

- I wasn't going to respond, because I don't have much time to look closely anymore. However, this recent time was the third time this caught my eye, and I couldn't help by look closely. It is an impressive image.
