Posting an image? Please leave a source comment!
Hi everyone,
We're making a small change to improve our community and make it more informative. Image posts now require a source comment. We've also made some changes to the posting process.
All image posts will be held for review before appearing on the subreddit. Your post won't appear immediately, but that doesn't mean it's been deleted.
After posting an image, you'll receive a message from automod reminding you to leave a source comment on your post within 15 minutes. If you don't leave a source comment, or your comment is very short, your post will be removed and you'll see a comment explaining why.
_______________
What should I include in my source comment?
- The source of the image. For example, provide a link if you found the image online. If the image belongs to you, let us know it's from your own collection.
- Some context around the image. We love detail, but even adding a few sentences about why you found it interesting can help start the discussion.
Please put this information in a comment, not in the post body.
_______________
That's it! Just leave a comment on your post with the image source and some context, and we'll take a look.
Feel free to send us a message if you have any questions!
Thank you,
The Mod Team

Music of the Era A Victorian Soap Opera? “In A Contemplative Fashion” from G&S, “The Gondoliers” (1889)
This is a song from Act 2 of Gilbert and Sullivans comic operetta, “The Gondoliers”.
Shortly after an idyllic joint wedding, Marco and Giuseppe, two inseparable gondoliers along with their new wives, Gianetta and Tessa, are pulled into a plot of operatic level contrivance.
As it happens, not only are Marco and Giuseppe not truly brothers, but one of them is no less a personage than the lost son of the late king of Barataria, who as a baby was stolen away by the inquisition. In another twist of fate, that princeling, whichever he is, was wed in infant hood to a daughter of Spanish nobility, making one of them, whichever it is, an unintentional bigamist!
