Official program of the seventh season of the Ballets Russes, May-June 1912 Théâtre du Châtelet | Paris 1912 | 25 x 32 cm | stapled
First edition.
Program presented in a double glassine cover decorated by Léon Bakst, cover nicely illustrated by the latter featuring a scene from
L'Après-midi d'un faune (
The Afternoon of a Faun) created by Nijinsky, several interior illustrations by the same. Iconography, text by Jean Cocteau and Frédéric de Madrazo.
Small, minor marginal tears and stains affecting the very fragile double glassine cover.
A rare and pleasant copy.
