Original – Poster for Jules Massenet's La Navarraise, showing Emma Calvé in the role of Anita. The piece was originally performed in London, Calvé reprised her role from that production for this poster's performance, the French première at the Théâtre de l'Opéra-Comique on 3 October 1895
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.
