La Navarraise

 * Reason:A fine image. Does have some of that unrecapturable "new technology is cool" thing - in this case, being able to print photos big, which I believe was very, very new at the time, and hence this probably looked far cooler back then. It's like Fred Ott's Sneeze or how Final Fantasy VII's low-poly 3D character models did not look like total crap at the time. Anyway, this has held up better than a lot of those, and I think Calvé's acting talent is a big reason for it: her pose and expression really sums up her role.

 * Support. As well as the EV for this performance itself, it appears to have historic value as an early large-format photographic poster. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:49, 24 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Honestly, the sources for photography in posters - that are found in a quick Google search - all seem to claim the practice started decades later. E.g. claims it started in the 1920s Soviet Union, and  credits them and, I think, the Dadaist school. One suspects such people forgot that theatrical posters existed before film.
