About this Item

21 pages in text. Large folio, 51 x 39 cm, Limited edition one of 605 copies. Thirty-two full page theatrical designs, including eleven in color -- watercolor, chalk and gouache drawings with tissue guards. As a director Craig was testy, and considered extremely difficult to work with; he ultimately refused to direct or design any project over which he did not have complete artistic control. In practice this left him mainly jobless for the last forty years of his life. Nick to backstrip head, top of cover slight fade. Large, very heavy production. Orig. red cloth, front cover and spine lettered in gilt. Very good.
