Reason

...I don't think I need to defend this one. It's from the opera's first performance, it's particularly good lithography (albeit from a timeperiod after photography, which might have helped - compare the Barber of Seville lithograph nominated down the page, which is probably in the highest quality tier of the pre-photography lithographs, and also shows the differences: that one is very active, whereas this is more realistic, but also more static. There's also a few other differences: A poster is bigger than a standard lithograph, so the grain size, relative to the image, is a lot smaller, meaning this has more detail, but that's just an aspect of the medium.) It has great composition and layout. And, y'know, things on here are starting to pass again - with some casualties near the bottom of the page - so it's time to bring things back out.
