Original - "Love or Duty", an 1871 chromolithograph by Gabriele Castagnola. Chromolithography was the principal method of producing color prints from the late eighteenth century until the development of offset printing in the 1930s.
- Reason
- Originally promoted in a unanimous but hurried vote with a little bit of WP:IAR as a holiday idea for Valentine's Day (Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/"Love or Duty"). After it ran on the main page some editors objected on procedural grounds, so it's been delisted for a regular vote. No disrespect was intended. Putting this forward in the usual manner (as the second edit, without the Library of Congress imprint).
