Original – Poster for Ages Ago at the Royal Gallery of Illustration
Reason
I think the fact that it's an original poster to a notable opera, still performed today (and I can absolutely guarantee this because I was in it) is enough. It's artistically quite nice, it gets the point of the piece quite well, and shows all the main characters of the second scene (due to cast doubling, there's no way to include all the characters, and I don't think I've ever actually seen promotional work for this opera dealing with the then-present-day scenes).
