::Close for a keep (because you would like to keep the image) or close for a delete (because you've removed the impediment to deleting it due to COM:SCOPE)? I think at this point we'll simply defer to your wishes, Geo. --[[User:Skeezix1000|Skeezix1000]] ([[User talk:Skeezix1000|talk]]) 17:18, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

*{{vd}} Rather than simply close this as a '''delete''', in deference to George's passion for this image, I'll add my two cents. As far as I can tell, the two images are scans of the same drawing. If you change the mode of the larger image to B&W and resample it down by a factor of four to the same size as the subject, you are left with an image that is virtually identical to the subject image. The differences noted above are simply sampling artifacts. The scale of the drawing is approximately 2.5 inches per pixel, so that the missing cane would be less than half a pixel wide and therefore does not appear. The people on the walk between the buildings are there in the subject image, but not recognizable as people -- their torsos are only ten pixels wide in the larger image so that when you cut that by a factor of four, you have only two or three pixels left. A person two pixels wide doesn't look very much like a human. I see no reason to keep a much inferior copy of the same original. . Jim . . . .
