•  Info created by Nadar - found, uploaded, stitched, restored and by nominated by me -- Jebulon (talk) 23:08, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
•  Support We lack of women ! We miss women ! With this candidacy, I've decided that it is enough with old beards! It is time for beautiful ladies in restored ancient photographs !! Christina Nilsson was a very famous swedish opera vocalist (colorature, then classical soprano) between 1864 and 1891. She was excellent in Mozart's Queen of the Night (die Zauberflöte). Her first appearence was in Paris, Violetta of La Traviata by Giuseppe Verdi. She was the star of many european major opera houses (Vienna, St Petersburg, London, Paris...). She performed Charles Gounod's Faust for the inaugural of the Metropolitan Opera of New York. Rival of the other diva Adelina Patti, she was active until 1891, and died in 1921. In this 1865 french picture by Nadar, I find her very, very beautiful. It was my real pleasure to restore this photograph (original available in history in the file page), and to spend a lot of hours alone with her...-- Jebulon (talk) 23:08, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

•  Support - Beautiful subject and beautiful portrait. Thank you for informing us about her career. I hope you don't mind that I've corrected the spelling of "Giuseppe Verdi" in your link, so that it works. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:25, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
  • Thank you !--Jebulon (talk) 10:03, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
•  Support with minor suggestion: I think the reddish area on her sleeve is a BNF stamp; might want to edit it out. Adam Cuerden (talk) 06:14, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
  • Your support has a special value for me. Of course I'll edit the stamp out asap.--Jebulon (talk) 10:03, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

  • Der Hölle Rache kocht in meinem Herzen ! Danke und Entschuldigung. Warum habe ich einen Umlaut über "Zauber" geschrieben, das weiss ich nicht.--Jebulon (talk) 10:03, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
    • Jebulon: In diesen heil'gen Hallen kennt man die Rache nicht. ;-) --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 06:56, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
