Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Hamlet

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Original - A poster, c. 1884, for an American production of Hamlet (starring Thomas W. Keene), showing several of the key scenes
Edit 1 - colour balanced
Reason
A fine, high-quality theatrical poster showing many of the key scenes from Hamlet. The scan wasn't perfect, but I think I've managed to conceal the few highly-localised artefacts of the scanning. Obviously, I'd rather have this somewhat larger, but I think it's probably acceptable, and I'm happy take this to Valued Pictures instead, if the remaining problems are too much.

That version looks pretty good, though I suspect yours is nearer to how it looked when new, and mine to its current appearance. I can support either. As for Thos. W. Keene - This is his obituary. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 20:39, 8 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
