OriginalGilbert Duprez as Gaston in Giuseppe Verdi's Jérusalem. Maybe my titles for these FPCs are getting a little too detailed.
Reason
A rather good hand-coloured lithograph of a notable singer in the première production of an opera by a major opera composer. While not Verdi's most famous, it's his first opera in French, albeit revised of an Italian opera. Arguably, without Jérusalem, we wouldn't have Les vêpres siciliennes.

Alexandre Lacauchie; Restored by Adam Cuerden. I'm never quite sure how best to punctuate this.
