Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Maritana

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Original - The wedding of Don Cæsar and Maritana in the original production of William Vincent Wallace's 1845 opera, Maritana, as illustrated in the Illustrated London News.
Reason
Heh. God, I haven't used this source of images in ages, but remembered them when dealing with the call for opera-related images. While not, perhaps, what you're used to me doing nowadays, it's impossible for me to get these originals to a scanner (they are not mine) but I can get quite good photocopies, so this is the only way forwards.

By the way, if you're wondering why I'm so active all of a sudden? It seems that when I'm really ill, image restoration is therapeutic. Oh, well, convenient for Wikipedia.
