Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Aida

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Original - Poster for a 1908 production of Giuseppe Verdi's Aida in Cleveland, Ohio.
Alt 1 - Restored image with colors corrected, edges sharpened
Not for voting - The original. Note the damage right down the centre which has disappeared in the restoration.
Reason
I think this poster - almost certainly showing the triumphal march in Act II, Scene 2 - is one of the best images we have for Verdi operas. A rather nice, detailed lithograph, as well, if not, perhaps, the most delicate. If I missed anything, just tell me and I'll do my best to fix it up.
Articles this image appears in
Aida. Could reasonably go in others, but this will do for now.
