Ruddigore revival, 1921

 * Reason:Some theatrical works have their reputation focus on their première. Ruddigore, however, was a relative failure on its first run, and then entered the canon on the back of the first revival (which started as a touring production in 1920, and then had its London run in the 1921-22 season (pictured). This also has a lot of other strengths. I believe this is the highest-resolution image I've ever restored, and it's a compelling, full colour image. It's by a notable artist, and one of only two of his illustrations in his article, and far more detailed than the, admittedly iconic, but relatively simple poster for The Sorcerer. Not to say you won't see the other eventually.
