•  Info created by Émile Desmaisons (1812–1880) after François-Gabriel Lépaulle - restored, uploaded, and nominated by Adam Cuerden -- Adam Cuerden (talk) 13:46, 31 July 2015 (UTC)
•  Info First edition vocal score, and a rather attractive illustration compared to some. The delicacy of the lithograph shows up rather strongly in the attractive background; there is a lot of gradient of tone here, which - as each gradient in tone requires the stone have another preparation with wax and wash of acid - indicates a lot of care put into it. Compare, for example, the first edition Rigoletto, which, while still pretty good, has basically about three or four shades of grey at its disposal, at an estimate; this clearly has far more. It also helps this one is bigger, giving a lot more detail. Adam Cuerden (talk) 13:46, 31 July 2015 (UTC)
•  Info Wide margins are meant to balance the text at the bottom (with the added advantage that people wanting to reuse it can easily crop it into an appropriate aspect ratio for their reuse: It's far easier to remove paper than add paper.) With en:Template:CSS image crop and its other-language equivalents, we can easily derive any other useful crops without need to provide a new file for each. For example, in en:Gilbert Duprez, where the text would be illegible in thumbnail anyway, CSS crop gives a tight framing. Adam Cuerden (talk) 15:46, 31 July 2015 (UTC)
