Reason: It's not a perfect composition, but, for the time (1870), I think it did a very good job. The Kendals were two of Gilbert's favourite actors, so they appeared in a lot of early Gilbert works, ~~as such, they can't all appear in the Kendals' articles.~~ actually, this is way better quality than the one that was in them. But this adds a lot to the article by showing them, reenacting a scene from the opera, in costume.

Support - Technical issues aside (looks like W.H. Kendal wasn't quite standing still for the entire exposure), this is a fantastic and encyclopedic image — Chris Woodrich (talk) 15:19, 9 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support per Chris. It's a very evocative photo that give depth to the articles. The restoration work is flawless as always, too. –Lion-hearted85 (talk) 00:04, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
