A lovely copy of this luxurious inter-war production. Cyril Beaumont (1891-1976) and Sir Sacheverell Sitwell (1896-1988) collaborated on this work after meeting in Beaumont's bookshop on Charing Cross Road. Seeing as the bookshop specialised in ballet books, it seems only right that ballet was the subject which Beaumont could exhibit her knowledge and access to lithographs of ballets of the Romantic ballet period from 1832 to 1849.

First edition; 4to (28.5 x 20.5 cm); 81 tipped in plates as issued, 9 of which in colour, a couple of discreet ownership inscriptions to front endpaper; publisher's silver metallic cloth, original pictorial dust-jacket, gilt cloth lettering piece to spine, top edge gilt, clipped dust-jacket a little sunned and frayed, binding a little bumped otherwise well preserved, a near-fine copy in a good dust-jacket;
