First edition (1910) of Favourite Operas: From Mozart to Mascagni ? Their Plots, History and Music by J. Cuthbert Hadden, illustrated with twenty-four exquisite colour plates by Byam Shaw. A richly detailed and beautifully produced introduction to the great operas and composers, combining narrative insight with fine illustrative work.

Hardback in good to very good condition. Spine shows some tearing and wear to top and bottom, though the integrity of the book remains strong. Light wear to boards and edges consistent with age. Some toning and foxing, mainly to the prelims, but text remains clear and sharp throughout. All twenty-four colour plates are bright, clean, and intact, retaining full vibrancy. No inscriptions or internal markings.

A complete and well-preserved example of this highly collectible 1910 illustrated edition.
