Decorative head-, tailpiece, and initial. 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.

First Edition. "DE BRUNOFF, Maurice, and DE BRUNOFF, Jacques, editors. Collection des plus beaux numéros de Comoedia Illustré et des Programmes consacrés aux Ballets & Galas Russes depuis le début a paris 1909-1921. Paris: M. de Brunoff, [1922]. Small folio, period-style full green morocco, gilt decorated spine and boards, original patterned endpapers, original color pictorial cover illustration laid down internally, uncut. $13,500.First edition of this homage to the Ballets Russes by French publisher de Brunoff, consisting of covers and pages from the French magazine Comoedia Illustré and from Ballets Russes programs, and featuring 42 full-page color plates, 12 two-page color spreads, and hundreds of black-and-white photographs and illustrations depicting sets, costumes, dancers, composers and artists and covering the years 1909 through 1921. Beautifully bound preserving the original pictorial cover illustration and patterned endpapers."The programmes for the Diaghilev Ballet seasons in Paris and London were published by Maurice de Brunoff. He was the French editor of Comoedia Illustré, probably the greatest of all theatrical magazines. De Brunoff devoted many pages to the early Diaghilev seasons in his magazine. Eventually he began to publish the equally lavish souvenir programmes which contained articles, photographs and reproductions of the designs for the new ballets, all reproduced to the highest quality They are now highly prized collector's items" (Victoria & Albert Museum Theatre Collections). Includes illustrations and designs by Bakst, Picasso, and Derain, and photographs of Nijinsky, Pavlova, Rubinstein, Karsavina, and Fokine. "This deluxe volume is an indispensable source for the best in graphic, stage, and costume design of the period; early photographs of performers attired for their roles; and commentaries on the ballet by Maurice Ravel, Jean Cocteau, Guillaume Apollinaire, M.D. Calvocoressi, and Michel Georges-Michel. Among the elegant drawings and pastels are those by Georges Lepape, Jean Dulac, Georges Tribout, Andre Marty, Jean Cocteau, and Valentine Gross The drawings and pastels by Valine Gross are especially interesting because the document, in a charming style, Nijinsky's dance interpretations during actual performances before photographs in the theatre became commonplace" (Roadcap, The Book of Dance in the 20th Century, 28). No articles appear for the years 1916 or 1918, when performances were halted during WWI. An introductory note by dance critic Valérien Svetlov appears before each season's articles. Text in French. Front cover illustration by painter and ballet designer Natalia Gontcharova preserved on the front free endpaper. Just a few programs with a hint of marginal dampstaining to bottom edge. Color plates, spreads, photographs and illustrations bright and beautiful.".
