Original glassine on decorative and printed dust-jacket over blind wrappers.

In 1921 the opportunity arose for Sergei Diaghilev the renown Russian ballet impresario and founder of the Ballets Russes to present Tchaikovski's "La Belle au Bois Dormant" at the Alhambra Theatre in London using the notes that the Ballet Master Nicholas Sergeyev had kept from pre-Revolutionary Russia. It was to be a production of great magnificence designed by Léon Bakst and the first time the typically Russian full-length ballet in five scenes would be performed in England. Petipa's choreography preserved through the use of Stepanov notation was restaged by Nicolas Sergueev stage manager for the Maryinski Theatre. Bronislava Nijinska younger sister to Nijinski and also a dancer and choreographer adjusted several enchaînements and supervised the whole show. Olga Spessivtseva was Aurora Pierre Vladimirov the Prince and Lydia Lopokova alternated with Bronislava Nijinska in the role of the Lilac Fairy. Stanislav Idzikowski proved to be a brilliant Blue Bird. Carlotta Brianza who had created the title role of Sleeping Beauty in 1890 in Saint Petersburg played Carabosse this time. The superb scenery and costumes were designed by Léon Bakst. This stunning signed limited first edition contains the complete 54 mounted color plates depicting the exotic sumptuous and richly colored costumes and sets designed by Bakst for this memorable London performance. His ingenious designs in conjunction with Diaghilev's radical and provocative choreography helped revitalize ballet and lay the framework for modern interpretive dance. Each of the mounted color plates measures 15 1/4 x 11" image appr. 10 1/2 x 6 3/4" and is protected with a captioned tissue guard. One of 500 copies of which this is No.358. Gold lettering and decoration partly faded on slipcase. Water staining on boards. Glassine age-toned and chipped at tail of spine. Creasing along dust-jacket's spine. Wrappers intact. Book block separating. 11 plates loose. Moderate and sporadic creasing on tissue-guards. Text in French.

1999In-16 (cm. 19), brossura illustrata, pp. 174, (2), con illustrazioni in bianco e nero nel testo ed a colori fuori testo. Prima edizione nella Collana Gli Elefanti. In ottimo stato (nice copy). Emilio Tadini ci accompagna alla scoperta di cinque capolavori della pittura: L'orchestra dell'Opéra di Degas, La stanza del pittore a Arles di Van Gogh, Le bagnanti di Cézanne, Les Demoiselles d'Avignon di Picasso e L'autoritratto con sette dita di Chagall. Sono cinque opere assai diverse tra loro, che contengono e implicano molte altre pitture possibili, offrendosi allo sguardo come fonti inesauribili di scoperte e rivelazioni: dipinte nel momento in cui si afferma il "moderno", assommano in sé molte caratteristiche dell'arte del passato e prefigurano quella del futuro.
