Info created by anonymous (pre-1923 American, so definitely out of copyright), restored, uploaded and nominated by Adam Cuerden -- Adam Cuerden (talk) 05:56, 11 November 2012 (UTC)- Info This is an illustration to Oscar Wilde's Duchess of Padua, one of the least illustrated of Oscar Wilde's plays. It's a photogravure, by the way, which is why it has a slightly dark cast over the image proper, this is normal. In some you get a dark edge around the image, showing the outline of the photogravure plate; this one doesn't, presumably because they did a better job matching edge of image to edge of plate. (it's also why I didn't crop too close: it'd be misleading not to include some of the paper, as photogravures tend to be darker than the paper) Adam Cuerden (talk) 06:16, 11 November 2012 (UTC)

Comment Please add proper categories. --High Contrast (talk) 10:05, 11 November 2012 (UTC)
- I've added Category:Oscar Wilde and Category:Photogravure. I'll be honest and say I've been gone from Commons too long to remember the category tree, so please add more if you can think of any appropriate. Adam Cuerden (talk) 13:43, 11 November 2012 (UTC)

- (btw, maybe a scan of the picture before restoration, visible in the file page, could be interesting, for comparison)--Jebulon (talk) 16:17, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
