 * Reason:It's not a perfect composition, but, for the time (1870), I think it did a very good job. The Kendals were two of Gilbert's favourite actors, so they appeared in a lot of early Gilbert works, as such, they can't all appear in the Kendals' articles. actually, this is way better quality than the one that was in them. But this adds a lot to the article by showing them, reenacting a scene from the opera, in costume.

 * Support - Technical issues aside (looks like W.H. Kendal wasn't quite standing still for the entire exposure), this is a fantastic and encyclopedic image — Chris Woodrich (talk) 15:19, 9 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Support per Chris. It's a very evocative photo that give depth to the articles. The restoration work is flawless as always, too. –Lion-hearted85 (talk) 00:04, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
