Reason: One of the best-looking carte de visites I've seen in quite some time. Nadar did an amazing job with the technology of the time at capturing a clear, crisp photo of a very notable composer. Replaced a terrible reproduction of the same image.

Support - Beautiful. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 09:11, 10 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support – Per nom – although more contrast with upper BG would enhance photo (but might not be considered Kosher). Sca (talk) 15:46, 10 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Probably went about as far in that line as we ought. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 16:19, 10 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support – I've written about Nadar, BTW. Would love it if any of his ballooning pictures were up to FP snuff. Vesuvius Dogg (talk) 17:15, 12 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- @Vesuvius Dogg: Funny you should mention that. I was seeing some rather good ones on a skim of Nadar's work at http://gallica.bnf.fr - have a look around his work. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 18:26, 12 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
