Several thumbnails seem to be missing. When I try to view the image I get a page saying:
"Error

Other files in https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Ladies%27_Home_Journal,_1895 seem to be having the same problem. I found T115813 but that was closed.

Looks like whatever happened to cause these files to output a blank thumbnail or throw an error is no longer occurring. I can't reproduce the problem locally, and purging the files causes new, working thumbnails to be generated. If there are files that can't be fixed with a purge and bypassing your cache, please file a new task.
