Gilbert Duprez as Gaston in Giuseppe Verdi's Jérusalem

 * Reason:A rather good hand-coloured lithograph of a notable singer in the première production of an opera by a major opera composer. While not Verdi's most famous, it's his first opera in French, albeit revised of an Italian opera. Arguably, without Jérusalem, we wouldn't have Les vêpres siciliennes.
 * Articles in which this image appears:Jérusalem (longstanding), Gilbert Duprez (new)
 * FP category for this image:WP:FP/THEATRE
 * Creator:Alexandre Lacauchie; Restored by Adam Cuerden. I'm never quite sure how best to punctuate this.

 * Support - Better EV (or perhaps placement) in Duprez. Restoration, as usual, excellent.--Godot13 (talk) 09:24, 6 August 2015 (UTC)
 * You're likely right, but I think it has decent EV in both. Adam Cuerden (talk) 14:47, 6 August 2015 (UTC)
