Original – First scene of The Geisha in a poster for a 1906 production.

Reason: Important in the development of the musical, if basically unperformable today (even if we excuse the orientalism, the plot hinging around selling off women to the highest bidder is not going to go down well on the modern stage), this poster is gorgeously made, and shows off the spectacle of the musical's first scene. Featured on Commons, but, since the actual artist is uncredited, I uploaded a copy here as well as it's definitely out of copyright in the U.S.. (Only ever needed this once (and it was in a case I thought to be especially likely to trigger), but better to play it safe, right?)

Comment This is quite a late production, so little EV. Charlesjsharp (talk) 09:45, 16 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It's not that late: 1906 vs. an 1896 premiere (and the premiere production ran until about 1899, so even less time, really). I know Gilbert and Sullivan used basically Gilbert's production notes for about 70 years, so I'd say this is well within the original production's tradition.
