Reason

After months of searching for material to balance the Japanese predominance of our East Asian artwork FPs, have located a very high resolution illustration (26MB) of a Korean sedan chair, or gama. Watercolor, late nineteenth century. Restored version of File:Gama.jpg.

• Comment I put notes to the picture on Commons (Commons:File:Gama2_crop.jpg) regarding the type of gama, and what the porters wear. The memos could not be seen on English Wikipedia, so please visit Commons.--Caspian blue 01:40, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Support Though once I get through some real world stuff and back to proper Wiki editing I'll likely contribute to that Japanese bias with more of those Torajiro images. Staxringold _talk^contribs 02:05, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak oppose Not fully restored; I see quite a few scratches that don't benefit EV. I don't think they are part of the drawing, but if you can get those removed I'll fully support. ZooFari 23:51, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • There were very few actual scratches on this image. The textured paper contains fibers which might be mistaken for scratches. Could that be what you refer to? Durova³²⁵ 00:09, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • There are scratches that seem to be above the document (as if the scanner were scratched). I may be mistaken with the textured paper but I think it's an unrestored scratch. ZooFari 00:27, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      • Could you upload a crop of just the relevant section, please? Would like to see what's caught your eye. Durova³²⁵ 01:28, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
        • Never mind, it's no big deal. There's one on the top left and one on the right center, but it's probably just part of the document. Changed to support. ZooFari 23:23, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
