Confederate dead behind the stone wall of Marye's Heights, Fredericksburg, Virginia, killed during the Battle of Fredericksburg Dec 13, 1862. Photographed by Capt. Andrew J. Russell.Alternative
Reason
Informative and impressive photo of a war-struck country, where the dead are all kinsmen.
Neutral Historical, but really very bad quality. Hard to call this not knowing the rareity of the shot. -Fcb98119:40, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
One must remember, this picture was taken 145 years ago, this is pretty good quality for a photo from then 1860's.Communist4723:15, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
Actually, the photographic quality avaliable at the time was much better, but this is a very historic photograph, and it is hard to ask for more when this picture illustrates its subject so well even if it is of low quality. J Are you green?23:48, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
Support as per Thegreenj. I love the cracked and broken plate at the top; very fortunate that images like this have survived in any form. mikaultalk23:59, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
Weak Support original Agree with Fcb981 that I, not an expert in historical photography, find it hard to judge the historicity of the photo. Quality is not too bad, all considered. In any case, I feel the original is better, not only because of the cracked plates but also because the figure in lower left gets cut off in the crop. --Asiir11:59, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
oppose alt / weak oppose original. Alt has weird levels - looks posterized. Original is also poor quality, and I can't even make out all that many corpses in it. An image like this one, while also not of FP quality, at least is clear in its portrayal of the slaughter. Debivort00:22, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
Oppose - very poor quality; while it is of significant historical value, we have technically better shots of similar subjects from the Crimean War of ten years earlier, and much better shots of the Paris Commune dead from a couple of years later. Warofdreamstalk
