Original – Programme from the première production of Ubu Roi in 1896
Reason
Obviously, this one has to go on encyclopedic value more than art quality, but this is the programme, created by the author, for the incredibly influential work Ubu Roi. As such, I think EV quite outweighs the fact that it's a very weird image, although if you've seen the costumes, or know a bit about the play, you'd know it's not as weird as you'd think. ...Or, at least, it's appropriately weird.
