OriginalMarguerite Priola, in the role of Javotte in Leo Delibes' Le roi l'a dit.
Reason
Going back a bit (1873) in the history of photography for this. I think this is quite good for the time, and the scan is probably as high resolution as is actually there. In a very Field of Dreams (did anyone ever even watch that movie at the time? I know it solely from references) moment, I was told that if I restored it, an article will come. I did, and it did.

  • Question There's a full length picture accredited to Reutlinger on the web. Slightly different pose. Might even be the same sitting. Is this one a crop? 21:50, 8 February 2022 (UTC)
    • Well, this is the version as distributed (The newspaper/magazine Paris-Théâtre - or possibly Hebdomadaire? - literally stuck photographs to its pages, as seen here) and I'd be inclined to trust the Quinet attribution given it's in the newspaper itself. Also, Reutlinger's works are pretty well documented - here's volume 50, for example - and, while it's not proof, as a consequence of this, it's usually pretty easy to find evidence of a Reutlinger photo existing if it is by him by a simple search of Reutlinger + surname on Gallica.
That said, the Album Reutlinger, as roughly contemporaneous, does give some proof of photographs in the same sitting with multiple choices of zoom. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 7.6% of all FPs 22:33, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
