OriginalThe Pinafore Picture Book is W. S. Gilbert's retelling of the story of H.M.S. Pinafore for children. In this frontispiece, we see the hero Ralph Rackstraw in the rigging.
Reason
One of the most important late works by W. S. Gilbert, this expanded retelling of H.M.S. Pinafore for children teaches them such things as how one goes about singing a song to the moon (Step one: During the intermission evening, stay in your cabin composing it on your guitar...) It's a very fun read, and, while we currently lack an article on the book itself, this image is used to represent it in H.M.S. Pinafore and Gilbert and Sullivan

  • Comment Too much of original white border has been cropped, I think. Brandmeistertalk 15:52, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Brandmeister: It's from a book and the captions are printed on separate pages; I don't think the borders don't really add any significant value here beyond needing a CSS crop. Adam Cuerden (talk) 19:29, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
      • I think it might give a false impression about the borders to an average user (technically they are still part of the page), but wouldn't oppose on that basis. Brandmeistertalk 19:35, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
        • At least this is done consistently, rather than leaving two sides uncropped... — Chris Woodrich (talk) 23:39, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
