About This Item
New York: Tudor Publishing Co., 1969. First Edition, First Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Very Good +. 155 pp. illus. 37cm. Folio. Hardcover. Publisher's original oatmeal colored cloth over boards, lettering to spine in gilt. Book Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: salt and pepper nics to edges, two faint laminate bruises to hinge of upper cover, tail of spine with pea sized frazzle. Slipcase just about as nice an example as we've ever seen, color fading only just at the very edges, integrity of enclosing structure holding nicely. Binding super sound; textblock pristine and unmarked, with 68 color plates (many double paged) and original lithograph printed by Fernand Mourlot bound-in at front of book. Included are the original designs, costumes, decors, sets, and sketches for the various dancers, magicians, monsters, and peasants. Original lithograph frontispiece created for this book (Mourlot 581) is bright and unmarked, without the wavyness that sometimes plagues this title.
