Original – Poster for the original run (or tour immediately following) of F. C. Burnand and Alexander Mackenzie's His Majesty

Reason: A nicely playing-card looking poster for one of the odder Savoy operas. F. C. Burnand was one of those writers who had a tendency towards somewhat strange plot points and strange choices of what incident needs a musical number at the best of time, and in this case, it leads to songs like "By the King's decree, all of us are hirsute". There's a reason why the only thing by him I'm aware of that's regularly performed is Cox and Box, in which he only added lyrics to an existing work. Still, a notable point in the history of British opera, if not one we're likely to see revived anytime soon.
