Jeanne Granier (Eurydice) and Eugène Vauthier (Jupiter) in the famous fly scene from Jacques Offenbach's Orphée aux enfers. Albumen print, 10.5 x 14.5 cm. This was the 1887 revival cast.A gorgeous colourised version by Wilfredor is available at File:Atelier Nadar - Fly scene from Offenbach's Orphée aux enfers with Jeanne Granier as Eurydice and Eugène Vauthier as Jupiter, 1887 revival, wide-angle shot-Colorized.jpg.Advantages of uncolourisedColourization involves a bit of speculation, so this may have higher encyclopedic value.Advantages of colourisedMakes elements pop out.Gorgeous and artistic.If the specific production doesn't matter (posters, illustrations of the show as a whole, etc), has no disadvantagesFun fact: If I'm not horribly mistaken, those wings are pretty clearly drawn on after the photo was taken, likely because the real props wouldn't stay still long enough.
