Original – Artist Gustave Doré, c. 1867
Reason
A fine photograph of the artist, by Nadar, a famous photographer. Conveniently close in time (within a year or two) to what I'd say were his most famous works: his Bible and Dante's Inferno illustrations, which does put this in fairly early photography, but... it's a good one. Bottom isn't quite straight, but, well... I mean, I can digitally fix that, but don't think I should. It's honestly surprisingly common in prints and engravings for them not to be quite square, and it's never clear why; honestly, it's probably just that it's not that noticable if you don't surround it with a true rectangle.
