- Reason
- A high resolution illustration of historic social dancing with good demonstration of context: active dance poses, musicians, and nearby figures drinking and socializing. Tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1799. ;) Restored version of File:Il Ballo.jpg.

- Support. Well-restored, high-resolution, and it is well-used in illustrating social dance (especially since social dance today often looks so different).--ragesoss (talk) 05:56, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
- Support, but isn't it "Tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1699"? SpencerT♦C 17:32, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
- weak oppose Don't especially like the look or composition of the thumb, and I'm not sure what this version shows that a modern photo wouldn't. I thought the social dance article might be specific to old dancing, in which case the old rendering would help, but it wasn't. de Bivort 19:05, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
- Support - Shows what a 18th-century social dance is like, in a way that a modern photograph would not. Historic views are still important to show the development. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 18:02, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
- Weak Support Good, but not great, EV. It'd be better if the articles talked more about the history/development of dance. Moreover, a description of what they're doing would be nice. Sure, it looks like they're dancing, but I can't tell much about the actual dance. Makeemlighter (talk) 04:39, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
