 * Reason:A fine example of set design, from the première of the work. Charles Cambon tends not to go full colour like Chaperon did, but his chiaroscuro work is pretty excellent.
 * Articles in which this image appears:La Esmeralda (opera), Charles-Antoine Cambon

 * How can we tell if this is not too dark (compared with other images online)? Charlesjsharp (talk) 22:38, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
 * The Bibliotheque Nationale de France seem to have quite good colour fidelity overall. One could possibly justify lightening it a little - there's clearly white ink used on it for highlights, so the paper is not going to be white - in order to bring out detail, but I'd say that this is very likely the colours for what it currently looks like.

 * The Alamy image may be too light I suppose. There's no provenance. Why not lightenit /alter tone/do whatever a little? Charlesjsharp (talk) 22:49, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I guess a little more contrast won't hurt. Five minutes. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 6.4% of all FPs 23:38, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Right. I gave it a slight lift. Nothing too extreme, but enough to get an improvement in without overdoing it. It's meamt t be a poorly-lit garret room, after all. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 6.4% of all FPs 23:52, 12 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Support. Wonderfully detailed and engaging sketch. Illustrates Cambon's work well. Not opposed to a slight brightening, but will leave it up to Adam to determine the final word on that (it's fine as is for mine). --jjron (talk) 07:35, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Support Let's hope you're right! Charlesjsharp (talk) 10:17, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Support. MER-C 19:59, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Support and Comment – there is a round spot at x,y,=(1860,2975), you removed a similar spot at (3390,3825), I am just wondering if it belongs there? Bammesk (talk) 16:29, 16 March 2019 (UTC)
 * You can argue either way on that type of thing, but, on the whole, it seems like a drip. I think it's probably worth removing. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 6.4% of all FPs 00:15, 17 March 2019 (UTC)
