Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/The Happy Land - Illustrated London News, March 22, 1873 - Renomination with better Scan
Scene from The Happy Land at the Court Theatre[edit]
- Reason
- A very graphic portrayal of one of the more interesting little scandals in the Victorian theatre. Plus, seeing a fairy Gladstone makes me smile.
- Articles this image appears in
- Censorship, William Gladstone, The Realm of Joy, W. S. Gilbert, The Happy Land, Censorship in the UK
- Creator
- D. H. Friston
- Note
- Renomination of a withdrawn image with a much better scan. I should probably note - as there's been some doubt - that Victorian paper does not necessarily degrade, provided the paper is reasonable quality to start with; and engraving technology was very well-developed. In other words, this is more-or-less exactly how it appears in the original.
