OriginalThe Pinafore Picture Book is W. S. Gilbert's retelling of the story of H.M.S. Pinafore for children. In this frontispiece, we see the hero, Ralph Rackstraw, in the rigging.
Reason
A fine image from a notable artist from one of Gilbert's last works. Previous nomination was a couple vtes short, with the only objection being to, um... cropping blank paper, with no captions or other marks. Which seems a weird objection. While we don't have an article on the book at present, the book is discussed in both articles as a notable adaptation.
