5x expanded by Philafrenzy (talk) and Whispyhistory (talk). Nominated by Philafrenzy (talk) at 09:44, 26 May 2020 (UTC).
Query. Expanded many times in 7 days prior to nomination, long enough, neutral, and well-cited, with no copyvio detected (Earwig for names and quotes only). Accepting QPQ from co-nominator Whispyhistory. Hook is short enough, formatted, interesting, neutral, and cited in article. Image is in article and public domain, and displays well enough. We do, however, need a (pictured)
or(sketch from trial pictured)
in the hook for the image to be used, and I suspect the caption could be shortened, perhaps removing "Title page of" as assumed. What do you think? – Reidgreg (talk) 20:17, 10 June 2020 (UTC)- Thanks, done. Thank you also for your copyedits. Philafrenzy (talk) 20:23, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
