- Comment. I like the image a lot, but it needs a much more informative caption. First of all, it should place the image in historical context, and second, it should explain, if at all possible, why the opposing seat is empty and who it is for.--ragesoss 23:25, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
- Comment: The picture is of great historical importance. This digital version's contrast is too flat and should be enhanced. Greg L 16:43, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

- Support, this is an FP based on historical significance, irreplacability and it's a pretty good shot too! However the caption is wrong - this is not a peace brokerage, it's a surrender. Witty lama 04:56, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
