- Reason
- And now for something a bit more modernistic and art deco: Ariadne auf Naxos. First performed 1912 and revised 1916, this vocal score is of the revised edition, and nicely art deco.

- Comment This is very dark. Can't you increase the contrast, and add more light? Regards, Yann (talk) 11:48, 29 June 2015 (UTC)
- @Yann: Harvard seem reasonably good for colours. I suspect any tweaks that would make any significant difference would also be misleading, as I strongly suspect the paper was fairly dark from the start. It might have been a little lighter, but it's a very well-preserved book on the whole. And it's not like the black-and-white images (or even images that include black and white) where we can know, with some certainty, what the original intent for colours was; any tweak is just as likely to make things less accurate.

- Support - Having gone through most of the images Adam wanted, I have to agree: Harvard's library is, on the whole, pretty faithful. I don't doubt that this is closer to the original than an edited version would be. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 07:01, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
- Oppose – Not enough contrast. – Editør (talk) 08:51, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
- @Editør: I don't see what you expect to be done. The image would lose all EV if excessive changes were forced on it. Adam Cuerden (talk) 11:24, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
