Original – Set design for an early performance of Giuseppe Verdi's Otello in Paris.

Reason: I like this design because it reminds me of stages I've acted on. It mixes practicality with attractiveness, and thus can illustrate not only the opera, but set design itself. Also, it's a stage design for a Victorian opera performance that we have in enough detail that we could reconstruct it today. That's actually really awesome. I went with the wider design, though I can prove an alt (from Gallica - they have a zoomed-in photo) if desired. They have a LOT of photos of this.

Comment - How is the photograph itself PD? The photograph is clearly recent; a 100 y.o. photograph would not be able to pick up this much color detail. This is not a 2D image, so PD-Art doesn't apply. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 07:25, 27 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- @Crisco 1492: As I at least tried to say on the image page, the library itself declares this image public domain, so PD by release. I checked on Commons about this, and that does appear to be the general opinion. If you can phrase that better, please do. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 07:37, 27 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
