Of note, I question the copyright status of this (and other) images. In
particular, there's no evidence at all that the photo was taken in the
1910s, and there is the fact that the copyright and appropriateness of
these images is already in question when one looks at the website referred
to as the source of the image.
Of course, I don't go near Commons if I can avoid it - and I usually can -
so I'm not going to take up this fight. However, if *I* can see a problem
with an image copyright, there's probably a problem.

there).
The edit has stood for five days now. The same image was also inserted in
a bunch of other Wikipedias (and may still be present in them).
Interestingly, in the German Wikipedia, it was stopped by the pending
changes function. (I've reverted it in the German Wikipedia.)
