Heh. God, I haven't used this source of images in ages, but remembered them when dealing with the call for opera-related images. While not, perhaps, what you're used to me doing nowadays, it's impossible for me to get these originals to a scanner (they are not mine) but I can get quite good photocopies, so this is the only way forwards.
By the way, if you're wondering why I'm so active all of a sudden? It seems that when I'm really ill, image restoration is therapeutic. Oh, well, convenient for Wikipedia.
Weak oppose I'm just not that thrilled with the craftsmanship of the engraver. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 02:07, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It's typical of the period - this was really at the start of the Victorian explosion of popular engraving - this is from what I believe is the first illustrated newspaper, and from only its fourth year - and the quality wasn't yet at the levels they would be at a decade or two later. I think it's still notable for the history: It's the first production of Wallace's best-known opera. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 02:19, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support: EV is ok, and like Spencer said, high quality and good detail. Btw, sorry to hear that you are ill, Shoemaker's Holiday. Maedin\talk 17:27, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
