[edit] Admiral Farragut

Original - Admiral David Farragut of the American Civil War.

Unrestored file from colloidon glass negative, 1855-1865. (provided for comparison).

Reason

Admiral Farragut was the top Union Naval offier of the American Civil War. This was the man who said, Damn the torpedoes! Full speed ahead. The eyes fascinate me - calm and fierce at the same time.

• • Actually that crop was a necessity. As you can see from the unrestored version, that area of the photograph was heavily damaged. The portion beyond the current frame was too decomposed to restore. Durova^Charge! 11:30, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
