Scarce gathering of Yorke's beautiful and rare publication and both Barbier's 'albums', all bound at the time in a fine blue calf signed binding - a fine volume indeed.
One of the great books on Bakst' talent - the only one devoted to a specific ballet. A copy remarkable for its cleanliness, especially of the fragile original binding.

[BAKST] – REAU, Louis, Denis ROCHE, Valerian SVETLOV and A. TESSIER
Inedited Works of Bakst
Among the best representations of Bakst's costumes for the Ballets Russes, especially remarkable for its pochoir technique. A lovely copy of the first edition.
A bibliophile's pleasure (and definitely Lifar was one!): an extra-large paper copy of his standard work on Diaghilev, one of 15 ad nominem copies, warmly inscribed to the wife of a leading Russian publisher and bookdealer in Paris. An exceptional example.
The most celebrated artist of the Ballets Russes, celebrated here in this beautiful production - of which it is the copy num. 1 out of only 315 printed for the UK.
[BAKST] – REAU, Louis, Denis ROCHE, Valerian SVETLOV and A. TESSIER
Inedited Works of Bakst
Among the best representations of Bakst's costumes for the Ballets Russes, here with the rare dust-jacket in very good condition.
Beautiful art-deco interpretations of Diaghilev's Ballets Russes, seen here through the combined geniuses of Barbier and Nijinsky, in the early and most successful years of Diaghilev's entreprise. A rare book in such a lovely condition.
