Patience

Original - A programme from the initial run of Gilbert and Sullivan's Patience, parodying aestheticism.

Reason

A rather nifty example of a programme that both captures the theme (aestheticism) and the humour in one image. A fine example of Victorian graphical art. Downside: Resolution (while within the guidelines) could be higher, but I doubt me we'll get higher anytime soon.

• Weak Oppose -- interesting image, but I find the sloppy pencil note on upper right distracting. Pete Tillman (talk) 18:50, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
  • That can probably be photoshopped out. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 23:13, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
• Weak Oppose. The image is quite nice, but unfortunately it just barely passes the size limitation and the scan is not of the highest quality. NauticaShades 22:46, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Sadly, not much that can be done about that, short of locating another copy of this programme. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 12:24, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
