A luxurious programme produced by the French publisher Brunoff together with Diaghilev, presenting Nijinsky and others in their colourful costumes by Bakst, all framed within gilt or silver borders.

During the seventh season Diaghilev presented four new productions: Daphnis et Chloé, Thamar, Le Dieu Bleu, and L'après-midi d'un Faune, which was inspired by Claude Debussy's languorous and shimmering score and choreographed by Nijinsky himself.

Folio (31.7 x 24.8 cm). [68] pp., illustrated with photographic reproductions and illustrations in colour the latter mostly after Bakst, gilt and silver borders; original wrappers printed in gilt, minor wear to edges, a very good copy.
