Original – 1916 cover to a vocal score of Richard Strauss' Ariadne auf Naxos (1912, revised 1916)

Reason: And now for something a bit more modernistic and art deco: Ariadne auf Naxos. First performed 1912 and revised 1916, this vocal score is of the revised edition, and nicely art deco.

Comment This is very dark. Can't you increase the contrast, and add more light? Regards, Yann (talk) 11:48, 29 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- @Yann: Harvard seem reasonably good for colours. I suspect any tweaks that would make any significant difference would also be misleading, as I strongly suspect the paper was fairly dark from the start. It might have been a little lighter, but it's a very well-preserved book on the whole. And it's not like the black-and-white images (or even images that include black and white) where we can know, with some certainty, what the original intent for colours was; any tweak is just as likely to make things less accurate.

Support - Having gone through most of the images Adam wanted, I have to agree: Harvard's library is, on the whole, pretty faithful. I don't doubt that this is closer to the original than an edited version would be. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 07:01, 30 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose – Not enough contrast. – Editør (talk) 08:51, 30 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- @Editør: I don't see what you expect to be done. The image would lose all EV if excessive changes were forced on it. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 11:24, 30 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
