An Ideal Husband

 * Reason:An Ideal Husband is certainly one of Oscar Wilde's major plays, with multiple film adaptations, but, hitherto, no illustration. However, this photogravure print is an excellent illustration of a key scene, and serves the purpose amply

 * Question Is that supposed to say brooch rather than bracelet? Makeemlighter (talk) 04:17, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
 * "It can be used as a bracelet" - Lord Goring. Anyway, for purposes of understanding the scene in question "bracelet with a cunning device that makes it unremovable unless you know the secret" is simpler. It's a little bit of a plot device.

 * Oh okay. I'm not familiar with the play, and the article only mentioned it as a brooch. Thanks. Makeemlighter (talk) 05:32, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Support Not very eye-catching but good EV IMO --Muhammad (talk) 08:34, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, this play doesn't really lend itself to eye-catching - This play is set entirely indoors, in two upper-class dwellings in the heart of London. The interest comes, as with most of Wilde's plays (Salome, is, of course, a major exception) from the dialogue, plots, witty banter, and the ideas presented. I do think the image is well-executed, and that it depicts the play about as well as the play can be in a static image. Colour might add a little extra interest, but I'm not aware of any colour images with appropriate copyright status, and, given the play, wouldn't really expect them to exist.But I think you'll agree that the play is highly notable, and deserves an image, and that this image, at the very least, is much more eyecatching than the former "Wall-o-Text" =) Shoemaker's Holiday Over 197 FCs served 13:27, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - Okay, the image itself is not really that great, but the restoration is.  ceran  thor 15:59, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
