About this Item

A good+ copy of this issue of La Petite Illustration, devoted to the republication (with four pages of Erte's costumes and decor for the piece) of Rostand's la Princesse Lointaine. From de Beauplan's explanatory note: "Bien que la Princesse Lointaine ait ete creee il y a pres de trente-cinq ans et que son edition en volume se trouve en bonne place dans presques toutes les bibliotheques de lettres, c'est un texte en grand mesure inedit que la Petite Illustration a la bonne fortune de publier aujourd'hui, en meme temps que le theatre de Sarah-Bernhardt le revele au public parisien." The text is wholly unmarked: no writing, notes, etc. Moderate wear with some fraying at the extremities of the cover, which is very slightly discolored with age. Front and rear covers have small intact tears along the upper edge (see scan of front panel for example). 43 pp. A lovely copy. Seller Inventory # 008040
