Ernst Haeckel. Nominated version restored by User:Ragesoss, further adjustments by User:Durova in alternative.

• Support as nominator. I prefer the color version, but the Alternative by Durova is another possibility. --ragesoss (talk) 21:52, 1 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Support original - I too thinkt his is one where paper tone adds instead of detracting. There's no colours to bring out, after all. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 23:13, 1 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Strong support (original) Great EV here. Excellent quality scan. -- mcshadypl ^TC 02:01, 2 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Support original Agreed about paper tone. How accurate is this portrayal compared to modern evolutionary understanding? Discrepancies should be noted in the caption.--HereToHelp ^{(talk to me)} 01:44, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Support Either Good EV. I suppose if forced to choose I'd take the original, but it doesn't really matter to me. Makeemlighter (talk) 04:47, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Support original Great EV. Could be my rubbish screen, but the alternative looks pink.Terri G (talk) 10:57, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
