Original – Set design for the original production of Les Burgraves (1843), Act II
Reason
It's one of Cambon's prettier illustrations, and it's Victor Hugo's last play, so notable!

It is a fair point. I know that an inufficient article rightly blocks POTD, though I think that there's also the argument that more eyes can be good for getting an article improved. Perhaps I should have nominated this as an example of Cambon's art, or get it into Hugo's article. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 7.6% of all FPs 23:47, 18 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I expanded it a tiny bit--there's more in the same sources, particularly Affron. I also ran up against a problem: while English-language sources all seem to describe the play as a failure (as does our article), I saw several French-language sources that insist it wasn't (as does fr:Les Burgraves). I'm not sure how to resolve that--my French isn't good enough to evaluate the reliability of the contrary information. blameless 01:48, 21 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
