Original – Act I, Scene 3, in the original production of Ballini's I puritani
Reason
A high-quality image of the original production, in excellent preservation 185 years later. Impressive quality. Aquatint offered a range of greys that later printing techniques can't replicate as well, and this image uses it beautifully. Look at the right side of the image.
Articles in which this image appears
I puritani, may stick in Aquatint, but that article is way over-illustrated.
