Richard III

Original - Poster for a c. 1884 American production of Shakespeare's Richard III, showing many key scenes.

Reason

Shakespeare. Only large-size image we have for the play. Pay attention to the lower right image in reviewing - that had the most severe damage, and I'd expect any problems with the restoration to concentrate there. If it turns out that more work is needed, let me know. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 01:36, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

• Weak support. I don't like it as much as Macbeth, but it's still a high quality picture, and illustrative of the play. The restoration looks fine to my untrained eye. J Milburn (talk) 20:21, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
• Support. Agree with J Milburn (although I found both just fine). Synergy 01:28, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
  • I actually like the MacBeth one better myself. But I think this is still quite good, and Richard III (play) has a much bigger problem with images, so it evens out. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 01:45, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
