Original – Li Fu Lee at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's radio experiment station in 1925
Reason
Part of my Women in Red work (and my first nomination this year, wow.). Li Fu Lee was a bit of a sensation back in the 1920s for being a Chinese woman who came to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with her husband and then decided to get her degree in Electrical Engineering. There's a newspaper article that uses this image, so it's kind of a key image of her.
Do note that I need new glasses, so - although I went over some of the key parts six times - if you spot anything I missed, let me know. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.2% of all FPs. Currently celebrating his 600th FP! 21:59, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support As the uploader of the original raw image, I'm very satisfied with the retouch. Good job, Adam! FunnyMath (talk) 03:00, 1 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment – An interesting photo and person, and I'm not opposed. Just wish we had some info about the puzzling device with which she's posing, but there doesn't seem to be any. – Sca (talk) 13:06, 1 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • Looks like a motor-generator converter (making DC from AC?). I can see "cker-Wheeler" on the end plate, and the Wheeler company makes generators today... --Janke | Talk 11:17, 3 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It's Crocker-Wheeler Company. Not the same Wheeler as today's generator service company. Bammesk (talk) 01:08, 4 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support – Adam, great restoration, but since you asked!, the lower left edge has a very narrow column of white pixels (maybe 1 pixel wide!). Bammesk (talk) 16:05, 1 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Were a few other crop issues where the border poked in; uploading a fix now. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.2% of all FPs. Currently celebrating his 600th FP! 17:54, 1 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - I'm seeing a smidgen of dust just above the support under the table and on a floorboard in the lower left corner. Mind, the one under the table might be light reflecting off something.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 20:42, 3 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @Crisco 1492: I'm going to leave the support table one, but I got the lower left one - was wavering over it anyway ad third inspection is making me go "damage". Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.2% of all FPs. Currently celebrating his 600th FP! 00:25, 4 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
